This is a beautiful and touching account. Thank you for sharing it.
To: Sabertooth
Thanks for your sharing your thoughts and experience. Reagan touched so many of us, in so many ways. To use a cliche, he was a uniter rather than a divider, for that critical mass that makes America so special and unique.

Beautifully, movingly written - your love of our President, of our Country, is evident. You have quite a soul, Sabertooth.

Nancy putting her head earlier on Ronnie's flag draped coffin was very touching for me today.
They were not only wonderful servants of the people, but had a real story book romance.
May God bless and take care of the family and all of us who grieve the loss of this wonderful person and great President of our beloved United States.

You have quite a way with words. I thought I was calmed down since Sunday but everything makes me teary. I didn't realize how much I loved Mr. Reagan. May he find joy and peace in his new home in God's arms.

Interesting that I just saw that clip on the news. Yes, theirs was a deep love and it was so easy to see.
Nancy softly touching her cheek to the casket was such a sweet but sad moment.
I pray for all of them as they grieve and yet must go through the exhaustion of the days ahead.
But they all know that Ronald Reagan deserves no less than the tribute and ceremony we are seeing and it is gracious of them to give that back to us, as we loved him too.

Thank you for your eloquent and moving description of your experience.
I visited the Reagan Library in 1996 and recall the beautiful statue of the bronze eagle.
IMHO the architecture and setting or the Reagan Library makes it the most beautiful of all the presidential libraries.
I especially liked your analogy of the Library being a symbol of his 'shining city on a hill'.
We all knew he couldn't live forever, and his death is a release from that dreadful illness...but it is so sad to know that he is no longer with us.
Many times I have wished he had been able to speak to us; especially after 9-11-01. Hearing all his moving speeches this week; seeing him stride confidently; tell a joke and wave....has given him back to America....for a loving last goodbye.
God Speed Ronaldus Maximus....to that shining city!

Thanks for your report. We were all touched by the scenes we witnessed today. You know, we're told we're a fifty-fifty countries right? Well, when you see people saluting the President's hearse, whether its black kids or firemen, its a moment reminiscent of 9/11 again. The family arguments have ceased for the moment and we're all Americans again. Its something special about this country outsiders will never understand and it shows up in the way we pay respects to a President. One recalls the lines from Walt Whitman's elegiac poetry during the funeral of President Lincoln. Like these lines that are ageless and are as fitting then as they are now:
Sea-winds blown from east and west,
Blown from the Eastern sea and from the Western sea, till there from the prairies on meeting,
These and with these and the breath of my chant,
I'll perfume the grave of him I love.
We loved him well and now our beloved President goes on the wings of angels to Eternity.
