And we did.
It was awesome, watching the map turn blue and the returns come in; Twittering then chatting then talking on the phone with Major Bedhead, almost-certain-yet-wary, giant knots in my stomach, until
'CNN just called it' she said, and gasped.
And it was.
I think we were both crying at that point - disbelief that we'd both backed the winning team (she's a die-hard Red Sox fan, so she's used to disappointment, to having victory be snatched away at the last moment) and elation and a feeling I can only describe as hope - hope that some of the problems that face the United States will be worked on now, that good people will come together and begin to trail blaze a new beginning that we may follow.
For the first time in a long time, I have hope that someday when I go home that there will be a home left to go to.
Thank you.

I wondered just how much you were celebrating. Hey, my husband gets to keep his American citizenship. It was all over if things went differently.
I know it's amazing huh? I know I haven't been around but I had to check in just to make sure you were feeling it! It's awesome!
Great day!
