YES, WE CAN!!!!

Last night, the world heaved a huge sigh of relief, when word came that the state of Florida came through for the democrats.

It was all over, here at home we felt relief flowing through our veins.

We will have a new DEMOCRAT for president, hope and new expectations are once again instilling some confidence in our future and that of our children and grandchildren.

If Wheelie would have been able, he would have jumped up from his chair.

Our daughter, 25, voted for the very first time in her life. We're sure that her problems in the past few years and months have made her grow up in a hurry, have made her realize that she does have a voice, that she is, along with all of us, responsible for our own future. That she CAN make a difference, not only for herself, but for everyone.

She called exited: "I did it!" As if she won the marathon. It was huge for her, and I am so grateful that she is becoming more aware of the world around her. It's about time.

It's about time the younger generation is taking notice of what's happening, that this is THEIR future, that they have to stand up and help restore what's left of this nation.

It will be an exiting year for everyone. We're looking forward to find out who our new president will pick for his team, how he will start to tackle the immense problems that are facing us now.

I say: Hooray for our side!

It's a privilege to be part of this day in history. A positive start and hopeful future for our little granddaughter. Hopefully this turn of events will make her life a prosperous and safe one.

Even though I am not much of a praying type, I do pray for the safety and well being of this family.

A job well done, up to the future!

SGMKJ!
