Month: November 2008

  • I am so proud

    My Dad was a young man in Detroit during the civil rights movement.  Many of his friends were African American and he marched alongside them during protests against injustices.  My Dad told me on the phone last night as he choked up on his joyful tears that he’s been waiting his whole life to vote for a black president.  And now, for those who have fought so hard for equality and justice, this election is for YOU.  God bless America.

    No matter who you voted for, I hope you can be proud of our country for how far we’ve come.

  • Has it really been six months???

    Dear Blog,

    It’s so hard to know what to say to you.  I have been so negligent.  I can’t believe its been six months since I’ve seen you.  I want you to know though how much I care.  Can we be together again? 

    Love,
    Janette

    (OK, that was silly.)
