Did anyone see the Lightning in the distance?

[Sannum]

My first thought was that it must be Teddy letting everyone know he is there and that he knows that we love him.

1. We get the kind of lightning just about every night here -

it's a summer thing, like the crickets in the cemetery...................

[Parker CA]

Yep. Crashing away in the background, lighting up the sky. nt.

2. Wow -- I saw that and it was beautiful. And I love your interpretation! nt

[Sannum]

4. I am imagining Jack, Bobby and Ted up there, happy to be together again.

3. The grandchildren speaking, and crying, are making me cry

I've bawled all day. I really feel there's no one like Ted now. We needed him whether we knew it or not. No one can replace him or his daily work. We're in trouble.

[Stardust]

6. Alas, I'm afraid you're right...we are in trouble indeed. nt

[CatWoman]

5. the brothers are playing touch football

:cry:

[merh]

7. A voice in the dark, apparently one of the funeral directors,

warned those who were in attendance of an storm that was headed their way.

Oh Danny Boy.

As Keith Olbermann noted, the dark gave Teddy and his family the privacy that he had been denied all these years. Even though all the cameras were there, with tens of thousands of eyes watching, the funeral was private for the family and close friends.

Good night, Senator, thank you.

[Raine]

8. Very fitting

and quite beautiful.

[Warpy]

9. The angels are having a party in heaven

The beer barrels thunder as they roll over the clouds, sending out sparks of lightning.

That was the story I got as a kid.

[jwirr]

10. Similar to what I was told and also my children. No idea if they are

passing it on or not.
