Seeing Capt. Symonds presenting the flag to Mrs. Reagan did it for me.

Got in from work just as the ceremony began. I am in sheer awe, at such a celebration of a great man's life.
My tears started rolling immediately.
I want to reach out and wrap my arms around Nancy.

I was okay until Mrs. Reagan obviously didn't want to leave the casket.
Then I lost it!
I called my sister and she was bawling too.
(Our conjecture is that when Ron whispered in her ear he was telling her she could return later to the casket.)

Hubby and I were huddled together on the chair and a half we have crying like babies. This was by far the most emotional part of the week. I expected it to be, but it was worse than I thought. The end when Nancy laid across that casket did us both in.

Perhaps these are tears from the depths of your soul which longs for enduring faith, hope and love.

It was a tough week for me too. I watched some of his old movies and realized that he was from a different era. We are not the same nation of the 30's and the 40's when most of his movies were made. In those days men were more honorable, a handshake was sufficient, no word smithing games and Ronald Reagan was a faithful husband. He was also a gentleman. You don't see this to often anymore. That makes him all the more endearing.
You couldn't help but like him even in his old movies. His character showed through. He was certainly the right man at the right time for our President. We could use another man like that as our President today.

Same here, the tears came. When I saw Michael almost lose it with his remarks I just about came unglued. All in all I think Mike did the best job, he was the most emotional and I really think the one who cares the most.
Patti was all right but I now have my doubts about Ron.

I was a tad concerned - when Ron Reagan made the comments about his father invoking his faith, but not "using it as a mandate," and ended with, "there's a difference," it seemed to be a very politically charged statement. However, I couldn't quite figure out where he was going with it. Was it a protest against the Islamofacists who threaten us? Or was it propaganda against Dubya, who unabashadly makes references to his faith?
I really didn't want to have these thoughts throughout this. Ron Jr.? What's the deal? Can someone please clarify all this for me? Thanks.

Understand, but on this day let's cut RWR's namesake a little slack.

"My thoughts are that a guy as smart as Clinton has to be thinking - he needs to have a private funeral."
He should be thinking un-marked grave.

The final scene of Nancy unwilling to leave the casket brought torrents of tears made worse when his children came to her aid.
She loved him more than me, and that's hard for me to imagine. We all owe him a huge debt and the only way we can pay it off is to work hard to continue the ideals and goals he had for all of America.

Yep, I felt a little uneasy as if they should have turned off the cameras. It was such a private moment of grief and we (the viewers) were voyeur's (sp?).
