I had been looking for something on YouTube and came across JohnF.Kennedy Jr.
It’s almost 15 years since he took that fateful plane ride that cost him his life, along with the lives of his wife,Carolyn Bissette and her sister,Lauren.
Fifteen years…wow!
One can only stop and think of what could have been if the outcome had been different.Would he have embraced his heritage and run for public office? Would there have been children? Would he have been the first Kennedy to escape the “Kennedy curse”? Might we have had someone different in Oval Office?You can only wonder.
How difficult it must have been for his sister Caroline. As a practicing Catholic,you take some comfort in knowing he is reunited with his parents, but I know that the surviving family member can be very lonely.You are grateful for memories, but there comes a point that they are bittersweet.
He is in a better place,and his place here with us is left with a giant void.
Hi! Were you aware that JFK, Jr. almost died at birth? A second-year pediatric resident, who was invited into the delivery room, saved his life because the attending physician panicked. His story is part of my book on President Kennedy, published last year. Here’s a link to a recent piece I wrote for the HuffPo. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dean-r-owen/saving-the-life-of-jfk-jr_b_5540464.html
Thanks Dean for letting me in on this: obviously something I had never heard about. Forwarded your HuffPost link on my FB page, and will certainly look into your book. Thanks for sharing!
