Mama K and I had originally planned on having a friend over to babysit the young one, freeing us up to go out into the streets to celebrate, pop bubbly, and storm the Republican HQ. Instead we decided to spend this historic night together with our son, knowing full well that he'll likely have no idea who Obama is or was by the time he becomes politically cognizant. All the same, it felt wrong not to celebrate as a family, to share this moment in time where hope conquers fear, and unity overcomes deep-seated divisions.
This nation has high expectations, Barack, and for Young Old's sake, I hope you can live up to them. Change the world, Mr. President.
