It's a shame Tumblr only allows 10 images, as there's so many I wanted to share!

President Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy greeting the crowds at Love Field Airport, Dallas, 22 November 1963.

"There was a sound of laughter; in a moment, it was no more. And so she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands. There was a wit in a man neither young nor old, but a wit full of an old man's wisdom and of a child's wisdom, and then, in a moment it was no more. And so she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands. There was a man marked with the scars of his love of country, a body active with the surge of a life far, far from spent and, in a moment, it was no more. And so she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands. There was a father with a little boy, a little girl and a joy of each in the other. In a moment it was no more, and so she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands. There was a husband who asked much and gave much, and out of the giving and the asking wove with a woman what could not be broken in life, and in a moment it was no more. And so she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands, and kissed him and closed the lid of a coffin."

- Senator Mike Mansfield's Eulogy for President Kennedy.

Am I the only one who ever thinks about what if Jack and Jackie ever had another child?

In Clint Hill’s book “Mrs. Kennedy and Me” he says that Mrs. Kennedy was so impressed with the care she received at Otis Hospital that she told the hospital staff before her departure that she would be back next year to have another baby.

But as we know history had other plans and Jack would later be killed.

But it just breaks my heart that Jackie really did want another child desperately, especially after the death of Patrick. I’m sure Jack really wanted another child to, so it’s just awful that they were robbed of that.

I mean, for most of the mid to late 60s Jackie was essentially in double mourning. I’m sure the death of her husband shrouded the death of her son quite a bit, but she probably often wondered what her life would be like if her son had survived or if she had another child.

Jackie Kennedy was pregnant during JFK’s election campaign, and therefore limited her public appearances. Even though the whole Kennedy clan famously campaigned for him with huge success, JFK had one family member in particular he preferred to “send in” when polls were extremely close: Joan Kennedy. Jackie was pregnant during much of the campaign. It was always Ethel who wanted to step in, but it was Joan that Jack preferred. If there was ever anyone who knew the importance of image, it was John F. Kennedy. He knew pretty, unassuming, bubbly Joan was a sure-fire hit. And he was right.

After the election, then-president JFK wrote to Joan, saying “We couldn’t have won without you.” - John F. Kennedy to sister-in-law Joan.

It may seem like a small, insignificant thing for the President to say, but Joan was CONSTANTLY feeling left out, insecure, unappreciated, or all of the above. JFK’s praise of her was a sorely needed affirmation. She later said it was the only time she ever felt like she “held her own” with the Kennedys. It’s worth mentioning also that Joan deeply loved Jackie as well, and gravitated to her like an older sister… a very special relationship.

This is what JFK and Jackie looked like when they first met.

Contrary to popular belief - Jack and Jackie first met in 1948 on a train from D.C. to New York, not at a dinner party in 1951.

Jack made enough of an impression for Jackie to write down about their meeting in her notebook, where she described him as a "tall, thin young congressman with very long reddish hair, the son of an ambassador."

They wouldn’t see each other again until 3 years later.

This story was corroborated in the book "Historic Conversations On Life with John Kennedy" which was co-authored by Caroline Kennedy and Michael Beschloss.
