On our way home from school and running errands we saw some people waving Obama signs. DJ asked if those people and their signs really changed peoples minds. Just as he asked we passed a guy was standing on the corner with a hand-drawn Obama sign. This guy was down at that point where Aloha crosses I-5 and heads down into the Cascadia neighborhood. He was waving it, standing there of his own volition, clearly not a volunteer, not someone sent by the campaign to that corner. He was just a guy that wanted to be counted and was out there representing himself as an Obama voter.I started to cry and couldn’t answer DJ. When I was finally able to choke out an response I said, “Who knows? But the important thing is that there are enough people out there who care about people like you and me enough to stand out in the cold and try.”
DJ put his hand on my shoulder from the back seat and said, “I know, Dad.”
I’m still a little weepy.
awwwwww. that made me a little teary, too. i might be part fag.
I'm weepy, too. Fuck.
Heading out tonight, putting on WATERPROOF mascara. You guys have made me cry at least 7 times today.
Yeah me too.
STOP IT, don't want to cry at the Showbox, it's too cheerful here.
There are millions of us who care enough to try. No matter what happens, Americans have changed the course of this country.
Me too.
Fuck. I shed enough tears the last two presidential election nights --not tonight too!
Oh man, it brought a tear to my eye too.
I want a kid.
Damn. Yep, that got me right in the ol' tear ducts.
DJ is a very lucky boy.
I have been on the verge of tears all day for a multitude of reasons. What finally pushed me over the edge and has me now in tears?: Florida is a stone's throw away from passing that bullshit marriage protectin act.
Unless you guys own one of those Smart cars, I'm wondering how your son reached the driver's shoulder? Don't you make him wear a seat belt?
Hey! I though we decided no more crying!
awww, I'm officially weepy now too.
What a day...
I'm proud of DJ - and the dads who are raising him.
I'm proud of all the people who did their bit to make this day possible.
I'm crying - and I'm proud of that, too!
awwwww....!
aww.
da-a-a-a-an! why is your mom not hear to appreciate this?? and barack's gramma!! *bursts into tears*
