My mom had me take what she used to call a “healthy home day”, i.e., stay home and just relax.  So I was home and heard it on TV.  She was not home.  I remember greeting her at the door in tears and saying “Our President has been shot” and watching her sink down on the front porch and hugging her as we both cried.  My mom and I had our harsh moments in those years, but we grieved together that day.
