As I watch the inauguration events and history being made today, I can't help but tear up a little because we have never experienced such a revolutionary day.  I can remember the day Kennedy died, I was sent home from school.  We all sat in complete stun mode watching our black and white tvs...Now, we have HD, Plasma and all the other latest and greatest. That was a memorable day like today...but this is different because we truly have come a long way!! 

I was so proud of President elect Obama with the writing of the letter to his daughters that was published in the Parade last Sunday.  It was so beautiful and heartfelt.  It just confirmed my thinking that we are all the same, we have the same heart, the same emotions and feelings and we all want the best for our children.  As I grab for the kleenex, I pray that 2009 is a year for all of us to reposition ourselves for the better times ahead.
