Yes. J grew up listening to Jennings every weeknight. To her, it was like losing an uncle. And she didn't literally cry all day. Just occasionally, and pretty much through the tribute. Then she, Mom, and I played Hoopla to cheer ourselves up, which worked.
But J really did listen to this guy probably 3 nights a week for her entire life. He'd been the anchor at ABC for 22 years -- 7 years longer than J's been alive. He'd been a real part of her life. I admit she reacted more strongly than I would have guessed, but so did I, so who am I to throw stones? --Ben G wrote: > your sister really cried all day because a news caster she'd never met > passed away? > > >>I'm affected way more than I would have though I'd have been, had you >>asked me a week ago.
