I stayed up with my mother watching the returns until almost 2 am. I looked at Twitter before going to sleep and saw that no recounts would be happening. This morning, I also found out that one of our oldest family friends died this morning.
Others have used better words than I have, so I'm focusing on how I'm a librarian and an educator. I'm going to do everything I can to give every child I interact with knowledge and understanding to question their world and mirrors and windows. I wish that I lived closer to everyone of you for shared tea and hugs in these scary days.
