For the first time in my life, I wish I was in CA.

Or DC.

I hope the family is seeing the turnout for their beloved husband and father. It pained me to see Nancy and their children have to leave President Reagan for the public visitation, because their grief is so painful, personal and deep. They have given us this gift, and even if we can't be there in person, we are certainly there in spirit--and we have other freepers to represent us.

This is only the beginning of a difficult week for us, but so hard for Nancy, because Ronnie was her life.

I live in SC so it is logistically possible for me to go to DC, just not physically so...bad back. That breaks my heart too. I turned 18 in 1979 and my first vote ever was for Reagan. He started my interest in politics and I have never regretted it. He has always had a special part of my heart. I love him as if he were my own family....more then some members :) He was as great a man as I will ever see in my lifetime.
