In my lifetime…
…a black man became President-Elect of the United States of America.
…same-sex couples are now legally married.
That is all I have to say. I want to just revel in the success for a while.
And both of them gifts. Requiring just the most minor amount of effort on my own part.
Both of them worthy of crying tears of joy.
Neither of them did I expect to see in my lifetime.
Garden of Words 
even better than a black man.
A mixed-race man!
and in 8 years his wife! I can dream!
I’ve not shed tears, but have avoided any news since election night. The whole thing seems so surreal to me.
In other news, you and I haven’t seen each other in TOO long.
