Yesterday Elizabeth Edwards was on the View -- and it was her son's 9th birthday [View All]

This is the first op, I have posted on the Edwards' mess. As a mother, I am stunned by this - especially as she knows she may miss many birthdays in his life. She has more control over her schedule than most of us have and given the horrendous year that whole family has had, I am genuinely shocked that she did this.

"She didn't mention her own children - Cate, Emma Claire and Jack. (Today, by the way, is Jack Edwards's birthday. He is 9.)"

I was stunned enough to verify that The View appearance was on May 19th and apparently from NYC. (http://www.theview.tv/recap/tuesday-may-19-2009) and at least it does appear (from at least one internet site) that this is Jack's birthday.

It seems extremely sad, that after the trauma of the last several years - from the cancer as much as their lives being turned upside down, that this little boy either spent his birthday in a NYC hotel or without his mom in NC.
