"As long as they were well behaved (which they all are) he would welcome them, and be glad they were there.
Part of his charm, his virtue, his goodness was that he thought the best of everyone until you gae him a clear reason and cause (like the Soviets did) to think otherwise...then he acted decisively."
I agree completely. I am so glad that Nancy, Patti, Ron, Michael, and the grandkids are able to see this public proof of just how much the sacrifices they all made for the sake of this country mean to us.
I am sure that they had hoped, that since President Reagan had been out of the public sight for so many years while his illness progressed, that we would have somehow forgotten...or that his brightness had paled. But they are wrong, we haven't forgotten, this country has not forgotten,the principles that he fought for and in so many ways epitomized have not paled...nor will they ever.
I pray that this outpouring will rekindle the "Reagan revolution" and that we will carry on as he would have were he able. After the mourning, the viewing, the celebrating of his life and achievements...that is the best way we can honor him and his legacy.
