I wonder how shocked the Kennedy family is, especially his

[babylonsister]

grandchildren, at the turnout in Boston today?

I'm watching m$nbc and the funeral cortege just arrived in Boston. The crowds are thick, clapping, waving flags, it's a sight to behold and a lovely show of respect for all the Kennedys.

And I'm going to cry again. :(

1. I kept a dry face until just a few minutes ago. So much love on those streets

:cry:

Beautiful moments I hope the family can find strength in.


Edit for correction.

2. They're not shocked. Boston has always loved the Kennedy family,

going all the way back to Honey Fitz. No surprise at all.

3. Those grandkids might be. They loved their granddad but might

not know how popular he was.

Also, it's summertime, and the crowds still showed up. I think it's amazing.

5. Nah, I think the younger generation has a strong sense of who their family is

I doubt any but the very youngest are surprised. We're talking MA here.

4. Thanks for letting us know how

it is..for those who aren't watching.

6. It's amazing to watch

Genuine love and respect.
I hope Bush is watching. :evilgrin:

9. People will be cheering at Bush's funeral, too

And what do motivations matter anyway, in the grand scheme of things?

7. I was looking at a photo gallery yesterday and realized that

at Eunice's service less than two weeks ago, Vicki and others already knew this was coming. :(

11. I pretty much knew when he couldn't get to Eunice's service.

They must be bone-tired of mourning. :(

8. I'm choked up over the crowds reactions too.

And I thought I was all cried out.

10. I've been watching this, too. I just feel so sad. n/t
