Family Values...

One can't help but admire Governor Daniels recent decision to not run for President in the upcoming 2012 election. The major reason centers mostly on family values. Family comfort, privacy, peace, and security outweigh all the other reasons logical or not.

I am reminded of my late older brother when I read the details of Governor Daniels marriage saga. I am glad of course that the family are back together and living as
normal a life as any family in America.

My late brother was not really the jewel in the family. He has made many wrong decisions all through his life. It included a drinking problem which later took a toll on his health. He was however a very good person inside and always regarded the family as the center of his well-being. He validated himself through identifying with all his sisters, mother, father, cousins, aunts, and uncles.

One thing I admire about him and still do, is that I have never ever heard him complain. He was content with the cards he was dealth with and he played those cards the best way he could.

Sadly he died at a very young age of 36. Those wrong decisions now did not seem so wrong after all. He simply packed on all that he can in the lifespan that was given him. I admire people like him.

I still do hope that Governor Daniels would pursue the presidential race, and If indeed he does I wish the public would leave his marriage issue out of the picture.
