my country, 'tis of thee

It's been a crazy emotional day, everything and everyone is heighten after hearing the news last night. And while I knew what some reactions would be I had hoped America would be given a moment for this, for something that's been ten years long in coming. But alas in the digital age everything is instant.

So, I love you. And I love all of this. And you're a smart, smart lady and I love your fair, precious, kind-as-all-get-out brain.

But I tell you this often enough I think, so you know that.

I do feel like I've missed something though. I don't know if I'm just ignoring all the right things, or if I'm not reading enough, or if maybe I'm just lucky enough to have a FB feed where no one is saying crap I can't handle, but it makes me sad that you're so frustrated. :(

It's not that I don't know people exist that took this event and turned it sour, I'm aware of that. But after last night, and into today, I still have a sense that for the most part, people are feeling hopeful.

Am I just lucky then? I just want to take EVERYONE that's been frustrated today (because I've seen many, many of you guys make comments) and squeeze you and tell you there's enough of us that they don't matter today. Because they don't. There's still a nation of people, spread all across the US, that feel the same way you do ( ... )

You do tell me all the time and I know that. And I love you back for the same reasons. ♥

And I'll message more! But am good, promise. Just mostly thinky thoughts based on multiple things.

But you're right, overall the feeling has been hopeful today. And you did tell me about your FB family drama (duh :P) and that is so true about it being contagious and that happens in many aspects of life. And you can't give in to that.

And it doesn't matter, absolutely. He's still dead in the end and I'm good with that.

Love you. ♥
