Tears came to my eyes as I read the N&O piece bidding John Edwards adieu:
Edwards finally admitted Thursday that he had fathered Frances Quinn Hunter, the daughter of former mistress Rielle Hunter. The day before, he pulled on a pair of blue jeans and headed to Haiti. He took a sleeping bag; he had no return ticket.
This, some say, is where Edwards can look for his redemption: an earthquake-ravaged country where he is just another American looking for survivors and bandaging their wounds.
The article goes on to say that “virtually every title for Edwards begins with former or failed. Except father……Friends are sure he will tackle the parenting of Quinn with care and discipline…..They hope he’s given the space to be a father to Quinn as much as he has to his other children.”
