I remember that speech like yesterday, me and my father watched it together. My Dad loved Ronald Reagan as I did, he was a career Military man who ended up dying from Alzheimer's on March 31st, 2002. One of the things he would always ask me during his decline and struggle to remember the fact that I was his Son was, He would ask,
"Hiya Michael my boy, How's my Ronnie doing"
I didn't have the heart to him that Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's as well.
I hope my father gets to meet him in heaven
