Did you know that on July 4 ( a day so important to these two men), 1826 both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died. The people surrounding Adams' bedside said as he lay dying thunder boomed and sullen clouds hung low. The moment his spirit passed the sun came out and shone in all its glory.
I didn't know that. I can remember being very comforted by a rainbow shining on the funeral cortege of the brother of a friend. We took it as a welcome sign.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful memory, EC.
DeleteThe 4th July is a pecial day for myself and late husband......We became grandparents for the fist time.It was the only grandchild he lived to see.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day Sandra and take care.
