VERY nice! I am glad they resolved their differences early. Just wish Ron Jr. wasn't such an a$$

his eyes followed them, shining with something I couldn't decipher, but which I interpreted as longing.

Aw jeez, I ....

What a beautiful essay from the prodigal daughter.

Unfortunately, it was partially ruined by that obnoxious Kerry ad, stuck right in the middle of it.

Thank you for posting this. I'm speechless...

I can understand where Patti resented the faat that the rest of the country demand so much of her father's time. That's quite a sacrifice for a young woman and on behalf of millions of Americans, Patti, thanks for your sacrifice and thanks for your father.

A very moving article.Too often people let unresolved issues overshadow a relationship.It is sad, for it allows a lifetime of love to be pushed away.Most often it is a lesson learned too late.I am glad that she came back into the life of her family,but in this article you can hear the pain of lost years that she knows are gone forever.I too, have a father with Alzheimer's and I cherish every minute that the good Lord allows me with him.

Patti Davis writes so well. This is a beautiful tribute to her father. It is good she made her peace with her father before his illness took him from us all.

I returned to my family, the prodigal child, in October 1994, two months before my father disclosed to the world that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Was Pres. Reagan still in the White House when Patti posed nude? Thank God the Reagans had their adopted children, Michael and Maureen, to make up for the way Patti and Ron shunned them.
