Thanks for that lovely reminder of Reagan, Josh! Seeing those pictures, makes many of us realize how much we miss the President, and the man he was. Loved these words about him...
"The light in his eyes is gone, and the long life is ended. Ronald Reagan lived the ultimate American Dream, turning rags into riches, always learning, always growing, always preparing for the next step ahead. For those of us who view the world as a glass half-full instead of half-empty, his optimism about the positive potential of the United States and its citizens held a ray of hope that we could always have fun while accomplishing cherished goals. For those of us who remembered and loved Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, and Walt Whitman, he symbolized the notion that Americans were guided an innate sense of good. His optimism, his disarming sense of humor, and his grace and courage under pressure helped us define America as it sped toward the twenty-first century." |
