Day of Mourning 1/2/07



Today was a day of mourning in the United States as the funeral services for former President Gerald Ford took place. It was around 9:30 in the morning and I went into my bedroom to fold a load of laundry so I decided to turn the TV on while doing my chore. When I turned on the TV the funeral services were on. I had actually forgotten that they were on as my older son was already awake when I got out of bed this morning and "Nick" was already on the TV. As I am folding the laundry this is how I found my youngest son...sitting at the end of our bed staring up at the TV watching the funeral service. Just a priceless shot for me to remember and jornal about former President Ford in my son's album.

President Ford was the 2nd president after I was born. Nixon was in office when I was born but Ford ended up taking over. Earlier in 2006 former President Ronald Regan passed...he was the first president that I remember.
