Erick Erickson is a big time extremely right wing radio host, so will never read this, but I recently read a news story about his wife's stage four lung cancer, someone said that it was my wife, and I realized we had not given our condolences. Somewhere along the line we have lost our humanity. I do not agree with Erickson on some issues(last of the politics), but it is important to stress that no one wanted this for Christy Erickson.
Christy Erickson is 50 years old. She has two teenage children. She has been married to her husband for 23 years. This is their only marriage. This is just the worst news for a family. She is not replaceable. It all hits me because of how similar it is to my family.
I wish her as long of a life as possible; she is doing the right thing in living her life to the fullest. She is an important human being, deserving of credit for creating love in the world.
