"We Are Not As Divided As Our Politics Suggest" or "Something EPIC In America"

What do I wish I could to tell you today?

Well, I wanted to tell you about spending all morning with Max and Miles, building rocket ships and eating egg sandwiches and watching endless episodes of Dora the explorer.

And then I wanted to tell you about coming home and feeling financially secure for the first time in forever, and then how I sat on the couch and drank simply limeade and read everything is illuminated and felt content

But instead, I ended up taking a nap until 9:34, and woke up to history that I can tell my kids about.

Barack Obama secured the Democratic nomination tonight, and gave a speech about paying teachers more and creating a brilliant new healthcare plan and his big, beautiful smile talked about starting over and trying to make america more like the ideals and dreams we were really founded on.

I am now telling you that I can not wait until my kids come home from school, and they say, "mom, weren't you incollege hen we elected the first black president?" or my grandkids come to visit and one of them says, "I'm doing a project on famous African American achievements, and i got Barack Obama! Everyone wanted him! Can you tell me about it?" Even though a first female president would have been as groundbreaking, that history making with a candidate that I believe would make no changes would not have been worth it. This is about more than my candidate winning, which is hopeful in ways you can't understand because I don't think you've ever had the ideal of America that I have had. And it's more than Hillary losing, no matter how awesome that is. And it's not even about being able to work in the campaign office in the fall, even though it is all you're going to hear about until, and likely after, november.

What it's about is electing a leader who can speak in complete sentences- poetic ones at that. It's about having the possibility and hope for change in this country so ruined and wrought with fear from 8 years of mismanagement, cruelty, and stupidity. It is about choosing hope over fear, and treating our constitution as a basis for taking care of people, not a weapon against thought, the less fortunate, and minorities.

It is about this:



But it's a little about Hillary losing.

That is my tuesday.
I miss you darling.
