Teddy Kennedy, Jr.
Ted Kennedy Jr. is the oldest child of Senator Edward Kennedy and his first wife Joan Kennedy. He spoke at his dad, Ted Kennedy’s funeral held today at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica in Boston. The Ted Kennedy Jr. eulogy was emotional, poignant and very personal.
Teddy Kennedy Jr., is a childhood cancer survivor. During his eulogy, he told a particularly sweet story about attempting to sled with his dad’s help on a snow and ice covered hill near their home with his father, shortly after his leg had been amputated when he was still unaccustomed to his artificial limb.
During Ted Kennedy Jr.’s eulogy, he also said this:
“Although it hasn’t been easy at times to live with this name, I have never been more proud of it than I am today.”
And this of his dad:
“He was not perfect, far from it. But my father believed in redemption and he never surrendered. Never stopped trying to right wrongs, be they the results of his own failings or of ours.”
