These threads have been memorials, just like the wall at the Reagan Library. Instead of flowers and other mementos, we have posted thoughts, prayers, pictures, conversations, and reflections, which are every bit as real.

I got the great news today, that my place of business is closed tomorrow. I will be able to spiritually participate in the President's funeral, just as I had hoped. The TV will be on with the sound turned down, and Rush will be my audio. And we'll all be family together, and lovingly send our leader to his rest.

Thank you for that beautiful and moving description...you have hit the proverbial nail on the head with it...along with your later comments about Rip Van Winkle.

I believe God is letting us see and feel the great optimism, strength, virtue and faith of this great man as he passes...and that it is an answer to prayer and a beckon call to us all to continue the legacy and make it our own, wherever and however we can within our own spheres of influence.

You're welcome, and thank *you*!

I believe this, too. It's like a new shot of spiritual energy! I find myself mourning less, and becoming more joyful and optomistic. And brave! :o)

I have no patience for news that is not related in some way to Ronald Reagan. I just turn it off. This is our time with him.

And with all the video, audio, and discussions about him (even the same old insults!), it's like he's live in the media, in real time. I just started to become aware of this sensation tonight. I think this is a blessing. The message to us must have immediacy, in order to produce the biggest impact within us.

You just have to get to the Library, and reach for him - your feeling is more than just a passion for history. I pray that you'll make it. When one of us goes, we all go!
