"My Memories of Ronald Reagan's Passing" by Anon E. Mouse

Ronald Wilson Reagan passed away with 5 or 6 hours of my mom. She was friends with Reagan and spent a lot of good times out at the ranch. I liked Reagan for his compassion and for being kind to my mom, so my attachment to him was purely visceral. Losing both of them at about the same time sucked dick.

Anyhow, I drove back here to the Bay Area from Fairburn, GA, alone, giving myself a lot of time to be alone and all that stuff, low and slow over Route 66. On the second day of driving, I turned on the radio to listen to the national memorial and had to pull the damned car over because I felt like all the nice things folks said about reagan applied to my mom, too, and it ws just too much to bear, so there I was, a puddle of tears and snot, sitting on the side of a highway out in the middle of Wet Dog, OK.

As luck would have it, I went through my mom's photos and what do you think ws right there on top? A picture of her and our former President! Whoa, huh?

So there you go.
