I waited in line to see a Box
From one of my previous posts you may have gathered that I went to go see President Reagan lieing in State. I waited approximately 4 hours to be in the capitol for all of 20 minutes. I must admit that I think it was worth it though. It's wierd that the president that was in office for most of my childhood had died. It's like another part of the 80s is gone forever. Now all I can hold on to are my GI Joes and Transformers. I also felt a certain bond with Reagan because my grandfather also had Alzheimers, thankfully he remembered who I was to his deathbed. I can remeber being taken in to see him during the final days. He was concious, but could really talk to us with all the hoses and what not hooked up (he actually died from some kind of cancer) He wanted to hold my hand while I was there, but the hospital and all the hoses and IVs hooked up to him scared the hell out of me and I didn't want to do it. Honestly, that is one of the biggest regrets of my entire life. I suppose it shouldn't be because I was 7 and you can't really blame me for being freaked out at the hospital, but when I wouldn't hold his hand my grandfather had a sad look on his face that is now burned into my mind. I wish I could have given him one more moment of hapiness before the end. He was never really "All there" in my memory, but he would always tell me WWII stories and I think he was very proud of me. I miss him. So anyway, the line was ridiculously long. Plus it was nice to be in line with a bunch of like minded people. I also saw Anne Coulter, she was hot and has a nice butt
