I’m Overwhelmed
Tonight I am full of emotion. I watched elderly neighbors stand in 49 degree weather this morning, joints aching, in Sunday’s best to vote. The gravity of what we were voting for hit like a ton of bricks. Yeah you’ve read about it and of course you’ve gathered that this election would mean so much to so many african americans but I FELT it. I was in tears realizing just how much this would uplift my community.
Friends and family drove others by the truckload to the polls just to cast their vote no matter who they chose. People that were happily ignorant about politics years ago could speak fluently about the issues and the candidates.
My daughter can tell her children about everything that went on today….
I am so incredibly PROUD that the world, young and old can see that ANYTHING is possible…
my heart is full.
