That photo is very touching. I've always had the feeling that Michael appreciated his father more or that he was more aligned with his father's thinking than either Ron or Patti.
I agree with you that Michael has been more the son of his father than the others. I am going to continue to pray that God gives him favor with his step-mother at last.
Perhaps now his daughters could have the attention of Nancy so I am asking for her heart to turn toward them. God knows, she needs them although she may not know that.
Try to find a play of Michael's interview on FoxNews. He and Ronald Reagan hugged, alot. It started in Michael's adulthood, and extended well into President Reagan's Altzheimer's. The two of them were connected, as humans.
Oh he definitely was the conservative that Ron P. or Patti were and are NOT. And I think it's very noticeable and sad how separated he is from "Nancy and Ron's" children. And I believe it's by design .. it would have to be. There's been no contact that I've seen between him and Nancy or the other two. I think he's been the "outsider" to Nancy, and that she tolerated him when Reagan was alive.
I don't see that continuing . . but I could be wrong.
