UNBELIEVABLE

...and yet we did believe. Every day we believed. And now it's here. A New Day.


When the news was coming down we went driving around, to feel the news coming down. We drove past the HQ and the people were jumping and blowing horns and people were honking and yelling. I will remember this night, Election Night, because it was so special out there in the dark and in the rain.

And then when Mr. McCain said those words, "the next president of the United States...", my parents hugged and sighed and they opened the front door to hear firecrackers and honking and yelling and whistling from all over the streets of our neighborhood. And then the church bells started ringing and it was so beautiful and so magical and spiritual that the tears had to come. It was emotional! We've held on to this emotion for so long, too afraid to let it out, to worried we'd be hurt again...but now we are LETTING IT OUT!! Mama ran down to HQ and cheered and danced with all the white and black men and ladies she's been volunteering with down there. People were losing their minds. We're gonna party today folks!!!
