It was a wonderful day in history. I was overwhelmed at the enormous crowd who braved the cold and the crowd to bear witness to this moment in history. It was a day of great emotion and joy. The crowd was happy, patient and well mannered. They had all waited so long for this moment that a few hours of cold and crowd seemed to be a minor inconvenience. President Obama gave a short eloquent speed. Aretha sang that beautiful song wearing that wonderful hat I loved the closing benediction by Dr Lowery who ended the benediction by saying, “let those who love justice and mercy say ‘amen.’”
Amen, Dr Lowery, Amen and amen.
The phone rang in the early evening. My best friend's husband had collapsed and she couldn't get him up off the floor. She called 911. He was taken to the ER by the paramedics who thought it might have been a stroke. After several hours of tests and waiting Mark was admitting to the hospital for more test. The CT scan said there was no acute problem, but something unknown is going on. Sitting on a straight chair at a friend's bedside was not how I had planned to spend the evening. He was looking a bit better when they finally took him upstairs to a regular bed and his wife and I came home to get a little sleep. We neither one had been invited to one of the inaugural balls so we didn't have other plans for the evening anyway.
Tomorrow will be a new day.

Some two million people atteneded the inauguration,without a single incidence of arrest!..I like that.
Well damm mom,I hope your friend is gonna be okay.
Sue,
I'm assuming it's the same Mark I know...
I hope all is well and that it's nothing too serious.
Mom and Dad are here visiting. They say to tell you hello.
Hello to your folks, Tracey.
Yes it is Mark T. Still running tests to try to find a diagnosis.
Was scared as I read your post. Let us know how things go. I haven't seen Mark in a very long time. Give them both love from Julie and Tim. They know that we love them but it is good to reminded every now and then.
The best wishes for your best friend's husband.
As Sing said, two million people and not one arrest...we can get on if we try...and have a common cause to try...we have 22 million in Australia, already way to many for the dryness of this country to support, so we'd never be able to have those numbers...2 mill is hald of Sydney...
I forget how many people live in other countries.
Send my love to Mark's family too.
Seems an appropriate purpose on this particular inauguration. Obama's going to be helping nurse this country back to health these next eight years.
and may your today be a good one Mom...keep us posted. It seems so many of us have our plates full lately, so keeping in touch is good and comforting...sending more prayers
