I have been sitting here reading this thread and listening to the service. I must comment on something that my son just said. He said:

"Mama, God took President Reagan when WE needed it most. People were beginning to lose hope in this country and our leadership. The only way to get the message out again was for the man who was the flamebearer of hope and love of America to be in the spotlight again. God knew what we needed mama. He knew what President Reagan needed. I see this as divine intervention for our country. Mama, it's what we have been praying for. Not for President Reagan to die but, President Reagan probobly embraced his homegoing for two reasons. One, that he would be with Jesus, whole and complete again. Second, because he would have loved for this nation to have a revival hope and patriotism. We all need to be reminded of what we have in America. Who better to remind us than a president who loved her so much? Mama, I see it as him bringing us all together again like you said he did in the 80's."

I just wanted to share what my 17 yo is thinking while watching this.

Wow, your son is a smart young man! I also was thinking this may be a good reminder to us about how great America is when we all come together. I hope it gives W a boost.

Your son must do you proud! That is quite profound.

When I heard Lady Thatcher's words, I was assured that goodness would overcome evil in this world. Tell your 17 year old son that when I read his words, I was again convinced that the best days of America are ahead of us.

I think your son has put into words exactly what we in this country have needed desperately. President Reagan's passing has reminded us of the greatness of our country.

We've been bombarded by negativity for so long, from all sides.

Wow, that brought tears to my eyes. It's something I've meditated on, but this was profoundly said. Thank you.

Yup. This may be Reagans last service to his country. Gently remind any friends who are on the fence this November of how GW has many of the same goals and strengths that Reagan did. It may move their hearts on the day.

Not only is your son smart, but he appears to be wise beyond his years. We need more young people like him! You've done well, mom!

I happen to strongly agree with your son.

President Reagan, in passing, remains capable of what he did in living.
