Dan Rather at twilight

Dan Rather @DanRather Jul 10

I cherish taking leisurely strolls with my wife Jean at twilight. My steps are getting slower and increasingly I have another journey on my mind—the one into eternity. But the joy—the sheer, unadulterated joy—of a hand-in-hand , slow walk as evening shadows fall never ceases.

The power of love and the force of the beauty of nature sustains us all. Age robs us of many things, but cannot touch love and beauty.

From his service as a Marine to the voice of the people. Hope he has many more years to reflect on.
