I watched Tiger this morning in his news conference. I couldn’t help but predict what I thought he would say. I was right; he did own up to his indiscretion and made the obligatory comments.
But I was moved by his vulnerability and the level of shame and embarrassment. I was sad for him. Sad for his mom. Sad for Elin and his kids. Whether or not he and Elin can recover from this, once again, Tiger steps up as a leader and takes it on the chin.
He takes responsibility for himself and I wish him all the best in his search for peace and reconciliation. Thanks for that Tiger.
What moves me the most is that each of us has something. Every one of us has something we have done or are doing that could embarrass us if we were in the public eye. We may not have been unfaithful in such a flagrant way, but we sure have made some huge blunders in our private lives.
I hope that Elin and Tiger can find answers to all that has happened. Whether they are married or not, they are parents of itty bitty kids who need them to recover and restore balance. True love can be romantic love and often is. But true love is something else.
True love loves in spite of error. True love honors growth and change. True love teaches that mistakes are not fatal. True love sustains during horrible circumstances.
I wish Tiger all the luck in the world. I was so disappointed in him at first. Today I am compassionate and send him love and support. Having to do all of this in the public eye makes a tough situation even worse and I appreciate his words today. I am still a fan.
Have you been betrayed by someone who you thought was your true love?
