November 22, 2015

Watching this message last October I was so touched.  I looked up from the scout patch I was sewing onto Jacks shirt and I was shocked. The speaker  had gone from standing up straight, to totally leaning over the podium and obviously working very hard to hold himself up as he delivered the last portion of his message.  I was mesmerized and realized I was holding my breath with my heart in my throat.
