I watched Gabby Giffords walk across the stage at the DNC and, like nearly everyone else, my eyes filled with tears. I cried because it was such a struggle for her....and because she did it with such grace and determination. Her right side is severely impacted, her balance compromised, and that sweet voice with her halting words gave new meaning to the Pledge of Allegiance.
I wondered if Sarah Palin watched her. I wonder if she felt the slightest, just the tiniest, stab of guilt and, even as a Christian, I hoped she did. And I hoped it hurt her to her core. Palin, with all of her glitz and superficial glamor will never..NEVER...be as beautiful, as graceful, as awe-inspiring, or as important as Ms Giffords. But she had so much fun with those crosshairs, didn't she?
At some time, Sarah Palin will be forced to accept that there are ramifications to her actions. Certainly when this life is over, but I hope it comes before that.
