There is no way I can write anything original about my feelings about yesterday's Karl Rove predicted LANDSLIDE victory for OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke this morning feeling like for the first time in my life I might be willing to say the Pledge of Allegiance.
I woke this morning thinking that for the first time ever in my teaching career I could tell children honestly that they really could grow up to be president of the United States of America (despite being too sick to actually go to school and also having to go to court).
I woke this morning knowing that the future is so bright I need sunglasses.
I woke this morning to find the world had changed and I had hope.
I woke this morning thinking that I had cast the most important vote I ever may cast in my life, but wondering whether I would get to cast another like it, and thinking I just may.
I woke this morning to a country who had cried out for renewal and had received it.
I woke this morning to a state whose colors had changed and whose motto, Sic Semper Tyranus, finally came true.
I woke this morning to a land which will never be the same again.
I woke this morning knowing yes, yes we can!
And I smiled.

And I awoke knowing that I would get to share this moment in time with you and your family and we would remember your grandfather. The torch has been passed to a fourth generation and I am in awe.
