so sad...
though i suppose in a way he hasn't really been around for a long while... the disease he had saw to it that he wasn't. :/
i realize that the presidential brush people have been painting him with is a little well, skewed. we painted trudeau with a similar brush when he expired.
i think it was more or less the realization that he dealt with alzheimer's for that long before going.
what's really sad (but not in the boohoo way) is that when the current leaders of our countries die, they too will have the nicey nicey paint job.
i think maybe that's why i hate funerals. nobody tells it like it is. i didn't go to my mother's father's funeral for just that reason, i couldn't have handled the hypocrasy that absolutely did occur. "what a nice man, salt of the earth, etc etc"
anyhow i'm starting to digress so i'll stop.
