Even if you aren't old enough to remember any of what I'm about to say, I think it might touch your heart if you'll just stick with me for a minute. I promise, I won't make this long.
Two of the very sweetest and kindest people who have ever walked this Earth, in my opinion, came to mind for me tonight. I thought about Ronald Reagan for some reason as I was waking up from my nap. I thought of all that he had done for this great country. It's not just that he was a President, he was so much more. Even if you forget about his young life in the movies and the military, he has still left his mark. He was a role model. He was a real role model. There aren't many left like that anymore. It doesn't matter where you stand politically, he was someone to look up to. This isn't a debate. As a matter of fact, it's the farthest thing from a debate that I can even imagine. If you disagree with me on anything that I'm saying here, it's okay. If the urge strikes you to debate this, it is my hope that you'll do me the courtesy of simply stopping now and going on to the next post. When I think of the condition that dear man is in now and what his wife has to endure daily, it breaks my heart. May God bless America and may god bless Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
Just before I got up, thoughts of another great person popped into my head. What name do you put on a war hero, a beloved Father, and an actor who symbolized the best of this great country in a more innnocent time? I'd call him Jimmy Stewart. There I was in bed when I thought of him and I wouldn't be surpised if that pillow was still wet. Yes, I actually cried. "It's A Wonderful Life" is one of most everybody's favorite Christmas movies and "Harvey" is one that really struck a chord me. I can remember even now how that dear man used to occasionally appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He was getting quite old and he would read the poems that had written. They may be few and far between these days but some things are worth remembering. I'm sure if you close your eyes and clear your mind for a moment you can still hear his soft voice stuttering. There are some people who are just unforgettable.
