I was with my father-in-law in the hospital when he died in 1978.
I did not cry.
I was with my brother when he died in 1993 at age 52 from cancer.
I did not cry.
When my father died at age 86, I did not cry. I gave the eulogy at his funeral.
When my mother passed at almost 94, I did not cry. I gave the eulogy at her funeral, although a tear formed at the end.
When my mother-in-law died in our home from cancer at age 86, I did not cry.
When I heard the news about Rush, I cried.
I started listening to him in August, 1988 just after he went national.
For 32 years, on and off, whenever I could, I listened to Rush.
32 years of trying to educate people and trying to save America.
In a season of so many recent losses, the loss of a leader like Rush, was just one more loss on the camel’s back.
And the camel’s back gave way today.
Lovely Tribute
And the camelโs back gave way today.
I think that is exactly the reason this is hitting so hard for most of us today.
I know it is for me.
One more TREMENDOUS loss.

My Mom loved him too. She recorded every one of his TV shows on VHS tapes. They were tossed when she passed. Probably should have kept at least a few for historical purposes.
I cried, too. And I wondered why. You just explained it to me. Thank you.
President Trump’s remarks on the passing of Rush.
Rush was a once in a generation broadcaster that changed the landscape of broadcasting across America. He pioneered conservative talk radio. He was a friend of the ACLJ and supported our efforts. He will be greatly missed. pic.twitter.com/tq7mwNtGwBโ Jay Sekulow (@JaySekulow) February 17, 2021
Rush Limbaugh made conservatism popular with the entire nation and revolutionized conservative media. He will be missed by all of his โditto heads,โ this one included. Our country has lost one of its most important voices. Sending prayers to the Limbaugh family.โ Mike Pompeo (@mikepompeo) February 17, 2021
Thank you, exit.
I was just getting ready to post, glad I checked the thread.
IMHO no taxpayer funded buildings, bridges, etc, should be named after living people. After they have passed on to eternity should be the time to honor an entire life.
Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from God-d. Yes, there is talent, and I have it. There is God, who loaned it to me. And at some point it will be returned along with the rest of me. And thatโs all it means.โ Rush Limbaugh Quotes (@DailyLimbaugh) February 17, 2021
Well said
I did what Iโve always done, I didnโt change. You can call it boring if you want, but the one thing you never have to doubt is who I am and what I believe and what I tell you I believe. I have been Mr. Consistent for the entire 28-plus years I have been hosting this program.โ Rush Limbaugh Quotes (@DailyLimbaugh) February 17, 2021
Thanks.
