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.
AMEN
Another friend of mine called me today to speak of the two fathers he had and now has lost in his lifetime.
One was his birth father who was an admired judge and good man, the other was Ronald Reagan.
He felt that Ronald was very much a father to this whole country and the loss felt by many are so similar to the loss of a dad.
I agree, it is a loss to this nation that feels like the loss of a family member.
