kerrykennedyrfk: “Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are, one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” - Alfred, Lord Tennyson. My parents were inspired by many of Tennyson’s lines. I hope 2025 brings you the inspiration to move heaven and earth. Wishing you strength, courage, and the will to strive, to seek, and to find. With enormous gratitude for your support, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year! 💙🎄

Joan and Bobby campaigning together. Circa, 1968.

When he was alive, JFK never lost a chance to compliment Joan on how well voters responded to her when she stepped in for Jackie (who was pregnant much of the time) during his 1960 Presidential campaign. When Ted was in a plane crash and couldn’t campaign for re-election in 1964, Joan did it for him and was just as fantastic on the stump for her husband as she had been with Jack. So, having Joan stump for him as well was huge for Bobby’s campaign. - Camelot: Once There Was A Spot

"Joan gave birth to Kara Ann Kennedy on February 27, 1960. I had never seen a more beautiful baby, nor been happier in my life. Kara's name means "little dear one," and she was then and always has been my precious little dear one." - Ted Kennedy
