night. my mom and dad were married for 64 years. if you wonderd what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist. every day dad gave mom a rose which he put on her bedside table that is how she found out what happened on day my father died. she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose. my mom and dad were true partners. a life lesson that shaped me by every day example. when my mom ran for the senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. i can still see her saying in her beautiful voice why should women have any less say than member about the great decisions facing our nation. neil: that was the first time i heard mitt romney choke up. and maybe you follow the public venues more office jonathan: i do but it was a moving moment.
