My husband had passed not long before the campaign, my kids were young and my mind was heavy for some time.

God bless you. I missed most of the 2000 convention, too. My mother died the day after President Bush's acceptance speech. I remember watching Cheney's speech in 2000 - and I remember I was eating waffles while I watched it.

This year, no waffles for me.

Thanks for your kind thoughts! We are doing well now, thank God my parents raised a strong girl!
Looking foreword to tonight's speeches!
