The Price of Love With the millions of others I watch the pagaentry. My eyes do not stay on the flag draped coffin, but stray to the frail and haunted woman by it side. I know only vicariously the honor, the fame and pride that has been hers, but I share intimately the sorrow, the tears and the bone deep weariness. I want to shout at the unseeing eyes around her. Enough! Enough! Leave her be.Let her go home to her solitariness and to her rest. Ten years of caring, never letting go. Alert to his every need and anticipating the next. Yes, that I know and the weariness, the awful never ending weariness. By: Joyce 6/10/04 [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (06-10-2004 09:17 PM).] |

Joyce, yes, what a price -- but you know, I don't think she would have had it any other way....now that's love, isn't it. I watched her tonight, and I broke down with her when they handed her the flag. She is so frail and my heart goes out to her, and it makes me angry, too, that every intimate move she made was so mauled over by the press. A good poem, Joyce, a good poem. |

Dear Joyce A heartfelt poem in tribute to Nancy Reagan. I watched Ronald Reagan's State Funeral today and it was very touching. I felt Nancy Reagan's sorrow. Nothing is private when you are under public scrutiny. Love Isobel ox |

Dear Joyce, A tender tribute to Nancy! My eyes filled with tears as I watched her at the funeral. It's hard to lose someone you love. Patricia 'When you find a dream within your heart, don't ever let it go. |

You know I was a teen during the Reagan years. He was the first president I ever voted for. I never paid much attention to the world around me at the time. I was too busy taking care of babies...lol But I'm older now and more..much more aware of the world around me and what's going on. The love one could see in the face of Mrs. Reagan was inspiring. It was obvious to anyone with a heart that she totally adored her husband with all her heart. Very Very nice Joyce. I liked it tremendously. ~smoochies~ Dee "It doesn't matter who you love, or how you love, but that you love" Rod McKuen |
