This date will forever be etched into my mind. A day I never thought I would experience in my lifetime. A day where Americans stood in long lines to vote...A day where Americans had election parties as if it were the Superbowl. A day where Americans screamed out loud once the winner was announced and danced in their living rooms as well as the streets. A day when we took a giant leap forward...for ALL Americans.
I can't wait to tell Kallyn where we were when President Barack Obama was elected. How her moms played a small part in history. I can't wait to tell her how proud we were to be Americans. How it gave us a glimmer of HOPE that she would be born into a better world because Americans believed in each other again. How we were inspired to make a difference and we could be the voice of change. I will tell her about how her mother and I held each other, celebrated with our friends and cried...
