Tony Snow, died last year today at the age of 53 from colon cancer. When Tony Snow became press secretary I took more notice of the White House and what was going on. He, among many others got me interested in politics. He has a special place in my heart, even though I never had met him. When I heard of his death last year, I was devastated. I knew he was sick, but I guess I just forgot because just weeks before he was filling in for Bill O'Reilly on O'Reilly's radio show. I didn't catch much of Tony Snow because I didn't care much about politics. But, the last few years listening and watching Tony Snow anywhere I could, I really enjoyed it. I kept telling myself I wished that I watched him on Fox News Sunday or read more of his columns or listened to his radio show, but I shouldn't complain. I had a few marvelous years listening and learning and studying Tony Snow that I should never and could never regret. I miss Tony Snow's voice, his honesty, his humor, his knowledge, and most of all how he cared about others. I miss you Tony Snow.
The column that he is most known for is the one that he penned describing his ordeal with cancer:
Cancer's Unexpected Blessings
When you enter the Valley of the Shadow of Death, things change.

Blessings arrive in unexpected packages—in my case, cancer.
Those of us with potentially fatal diseases—and there
are millions in America today—find ourselves in the odd position of
coping with our mortality while trying to fathom God's will. Although
it would be the height of presumption to declare with confidence What
It All Means, Scripture provides powerful hints and consolations.
