I lost it when Nancy broke down at long last. She had been the picture of composure and grace, and at the end, the final parting, she did not want to let him go.

Nancy went through what every wife and mother of a young infantryman who was killed in action goes through. They do not want to let him go.

But the Lord has his own plans, and they are not for us to understand.

As I wrote earlier in the week, let us not mourn Reagan to excess. Rather, let us thank God that such a man lived.

Be Seeing You,

I, too, was doing ok until Nancy broke down - then I cried with her. My heart is with her. She was married to a great man - a blessing to her and to us all. May the Lord give her peace and strength.

We do, and I think this week was about right.
The Reagans made us proud, and we made the Reagans proud.
God Bless America, now it's on to November.

...let us not mourn Reagan to excess. Rather, let us thank God that such a man lived.

Indeed, let let thank God for giving us Ronald Reagan, and let us celebrate his life as well.

Let us also reflect and analyze why we are mourning the loss of a great man, and determine through that reflection what it is that made that man so great, so that we might aspire to emulate those virtues in our own lives. That is what heroes do for us and why we need them, now more than ever.
