Mine:
Brian Stokes Mitchell singing "The Impossible Dream."
Teddy Jr's speech.
Chris Dodd's speech.
John Kerry's speech.
Sen. Culver's funny story about Teddy roping him into a 24-hour sailing odyssey.
Caroline Kennedy's speech
People standing along the roadways in Mass. and D.C., paying tribute to Ted.

2. I loved Caroline's tribute and President |
|
Obama's.. as well as the mourners saying goodbye to Teddy. The man playing the trumpet was so heartfelt.

5. Joe Biden's speech was good, too. |
|
And ... whoever told the story about Ted Kennedy taking soil from his brother's grave in Arlington to put on the grave of Yitzhak Rabin ... well, that just put me away.

6. Thought of another one. I loved watching Al Gore and Bill Clinton chatting before the funeral. |
|
When they hugged so long and hard after Clinton came home from North Korea, I bawled. Because there's been such enmity between them at times since the end of the Clinton Admin.
The fact that the two are talking is wonderful. That they chatted easily (seemingly) before the funeral gladdened my heart.
