THIS is what being a president USED to be.
This made me ugly cry 😭
I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.

In the emergency room for hubby this time. Got something in his eye yesterday fixing the trailer's gray and black water tanks, took a shower and thought he got it out, woke up at 2:50am and told me he's in excruciating pain. His eye has been weeping, now he thinks he cried it out. Checking anyway.
