Let's face it. Running for office is a tough endeavor. I have watched a host of candidates walk streets, put up signs, run advertisements, participate in debates and forums, and a host of other things in an effort to be elected to office.
Regardless of which candidate has secured your vote, all must be acknowledged for their efforts this year.
Yesterday, I spoke with Lucy Cooper, a candidate for Police Jury in Bossier Parish. While she and I don't necessarily agree on some things, I have to take my hat off to her for staying in the race, considering what she and her family are currently going through.
Six weeks ago, she and her family welcomed little Michael Landon Cooper into the world. However, since then, Lucy's grandson has fought to stay alive. Through six weeks of complications and three surgeries, the Cooper family has been holding on and holding together.
In my opinion, family is always more important than politics. My heart and my prayers go out to the Cooper family.
May The Blog Be With You.
