A Great Day

Dear Anya,

Last night you got to witness a very important moment. Our first African-American president was elected. You were oblivious as to why all the adults in the room were excited and cheering. You were too busy having fun playing with Eva, Eloise, and Flynn and climbing on your piano to care. But yesterday was a big day. Hopefully our country's reputation will now begin to be restored in the world's eyes. And hopefully our nation's health care system will begin to be fixed, among other things. The state of the country you were born into was not what we want to raise you in. We hope this marks the beginning of change for the better, and that you will grow up to take pride in where you come from.

love,
mom and dad
