Sadly, Jack Layton lost his battle with cancer on August 22, 2011. I felt it rather fitting to quote him* today, on quote Tuesday:
"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world." ~ Jack Layton
What a wonderful person he was, and what a difference he made to this country. His spirit will live on, and I hope his final words become something we will all remember, and live by.
*This was the end quote of a letter that Jack wrote only 2 short days before his passing. I encourage you all to click on the link in the post which will take you to the actual letter, if you've not yet read the whole thing. Our country is in mourning. So, so sad.
