Ya know, I'm watching CNN and following our President as he makes his way to Washington by train, and the tears are just streaming down my face. Y'all, will we ever be the same again???
He is right now in Baltimore, and he gave a speech to over 40,000 people standing in the frickin' freezing cold - he got down from the stage and walked through the crowd standing there with baited, cold breath just to see him. He smiled that"LEO" smile (with his cute self) and I couldn't help but think this is the man that I walked up to one Halloween morning dressed as the CHALET MAN and tapped him on his shoulder, and said "Hey Brothuh", and he said Hello - and then looked at me like "do i know you" ?? Then laughed and said "Cookie!!??" We cracked up that day coz the costume was pretty convincing. I had on Rodney's suit and tam and was carrying a briefcase. My nails kinda gave me away, true that!
This is the same man that I hugged earnestly and he hugged me right back at Aunt Alzata's homegoing repast in 2006. We chatted that day and remembered old days in Hyde Park and what a great lady she was. Cameras were pretty few that day - he hadn't announced his cadidacy then as of yet. But we stood and hugged and reminisced just the same.
Will we ever see this day again?? I'm overwhelmed and overjoyed and overly tired, so I'm done. Just pray and keep this family covered in prayer and love.
I'm so full- just talk amongst yourselves, kids.
What a weekend ahead - the AZ Cardinals are in the running for the Super Bowl, the Dr's. Holiday is Monday and THE INAUGURATION OF A BLACK MAN IS ON TUESDAY.
"Change is gonna come.........oh, yes it is!!!!!"
