It will be difficult, but I'm ready for ..........
...... Senator Ted's time on stage tonight.



I won't hold it together.

No doubt Senator Ted will. He always does.

This will be historic tonight.

And so sadly, the end of an era.

1. I agree-- just thinking about him makes me well up
Apparently (I don't know if it will be tonight) there is a film of the Kennedys that will be shown.

Get out your handkerchiefs!!

2. His toughness shows his love of the Democratic Party.
I don't imagine this was an easy trip for him. But I'm so grateful he will be there.

5. I love that our party has heroes who are TRULY heroes.
And not fabricated figureheads like Ronald Reagan.

I do adore Ted Kennedy. And I'm sure I'll be crying along with you.

6. The whole Kennedy Clan has been covered on my locals all day....

and on all my local channels and the national news too.

7. Ah, right there with ya.
I get choked up when he makes a regular floor speech in the Senate. I'll never forget his fairly recent floor speech about raising the minimum wage, classic Teddy. :patriot:

Don't watch unless you need crying practice. :hi:
