The moment I feared might never come--Senator Ted Kennedy is returning to his second home in Washington today, October 28, 2008.
Here's the article at the Boston Globe: Kennedy returning to Washington
According to the article, his return to Washington is a sign that "his treatments are progressing well."
The Massachusetts Democrat, who was diagnosed with a malignant tumor about six months ago, will continue his treatments in the nation's capital.
Senator Kennedy will remain in Washington until the Thanksgiving break.
Aides declined to speculate on when Kennedy might return to his duties in the Senate, which is in recess for the rest of the year. But his return to Washington for the next several weeks could coincide with Democrats' plans to call a special session of Congress after the Nov. 4 election.
What an incredible fighter this man is. Senator Kennedy's career is an inspiring example to America of how much can be accomplished by one man with a compassionate heart.
Just knowing Senator Kennedy will be back in D.C. makes me feel a lot more confident about the direction Congress will take. And he deserves to be there to celebrate Senator Obama's victory on November 4.
Welcome back, Senator Kennedy. You have been sorely missed. All the best to you for your continued health and strength.
