Of course you are correct. But I think there is a passage in the Bible about a prodigal son that would fit neatly here. She did come back, she did her family good in the last few years and she stood firmly and caringly in support of her mother at an extremely difficult time when she was needed more than any other. I bet that her father would have "slaughtered a fatted calf" and thrown the finest banquet to welcome his prodigal daughter home.
Give it time, she'll be out there with the gun grabbers and million mom marchers and NARAL boobs.
I agree. I observed Patti closely during the many ceremonies, and I think she's more on our side than not. I certainly no longer have a beef with her.
BTTT
Thank you, MadIvan. It was very comforting to know of Pres. Reagan's last moments on earth.
Darn it. Now I'm crying again.
I'll second that, Gramma! Welcome back, MadIvan!
Thought you might want to read this......Have mixed feelings about Patty, (but do hope she and ours all see the light....)
She's not a child anymore, but even my dem friends said she looked bad....like a leftover flower child.
Yes, she looked by far to be the most distraught of all the family members, especially during the service at the Cathedral. I hope she has found peace within herself through all the tributes to her father.
Looks like Patti had a great teacher, and she leaned how to live and deal with life from a master.
I sympathize with her 1960/70's disrespect.
Afterall it musta been hard to fit in (in youth culture)- in those foolish times - as the "Gov's" daughter.
Di-toe to what you said!
Thanks for a beautiful post. Where have you been hiding?
By 1980, though, I'd come to my senses. I voted for Patti's dad, and never have voted for another Rat since.

Oh yeah, Patty is a Dem. She said so the other night in an interview on PBS. She said that her Dad was wrong about the Nuclear proliferation. She said he was "lucky" it worked, but it was foolish!
She has learned to appreciate her parents, and I am happy about that. At least this alzheimers had one good outcome. I pray for others.
Ron is an Atheist and a Democrat who often says awful things about Bush.
It is too bad, because while he gave his eulogy, I noticed how much I loved his voice! It was smoothe and soothing. He has a voice like Charles Kuralt, on his Sunday morning show.
Ronny wrote a friend that his biggest heartache was that Ron P. did not believe in God. Gets it from his mom, I guess.
Thank you for posting this. Very moving.

Really? To me, he sounded phoney, and self-aggrandizing.
But then again I always thought he was skinny lil dweeb.
Carter also got me in '76. I too, have never voted for another Rat since. I can't imagine any circumstance which would cause me to vote for a Rat at any time in the future either. Though it wasn't RR alone who set me on this path, I am without doubt a product of Ronald Reagans vison of America.
