President Reagan died. I was a kid when he was in office and now three presidents later it makes me feel rather old to hear about the end of his life. And while there is certainly no love lost between us I find it discouraging to watch so many great and powerful people, intelligent people, humbled by death and senility in my lifetime. One minute able to run a whole country the next unable to remember his wife and children. So many, from strangers such as President Reagan to family such as my paternal and maternal grandfathers. Even my own mother.
