...when Reagan died ?
He was such a phenomenal man.
This is really worth reading, I learned a couple cool facts.

I drove home with my sister after spending the night at her house. After we got here my Mom had the tv on, they were all showing that Ronald Reagan, former President, died at 93.
"Damn, 93 years old, good for him", I thought....then I remembered he'd had Alzheimers for ten years.
How so terribly sad is that. This great man, one time President of the United States....doesn't even remember being President, or remember how much he did for so many. It's really just so entirely sad.
Also his wife, Nancy, dropped everything to care for him. How hard must that have been for her. I mean, there's no doubt that I would've of course done same thing...but it must've been so hard for her to watch what was becoming of this wonderful man that she loved so dearly. Taking care of someone you love more than anything and have them not remember who you are.....I know that I wouldn't be strong enough to do it. But then, if I was faced with it, I guess I'd have to be.

But yes, that article was very good. I read one from CBS and it sucked, stick to the fox one.

Time passes so quickly,
Things fade into the backround...
Force a smile weakly,
Move on with loved ones abound...
