“My mother and grandmother both lived into their late 90s, so I know my cancer will take away decades from me, robbing me of the chance to see my children grow and know my future grandchildren. It's really hard to deal with all of that. But I'm just trying to fill the moments I do have with as much joy as possible, taking pleasure in little things like combing knots out of my 11-year-old daughter's hair.”
—ELIZABETH EDWARDS, wife of former Sen. John Edwards, who died Tuesday, at age 61, after a long battle with breast cancer [via U.S. News & World Report]
