We're both nuts. LOL! My hubby was looking at me like I was...until I told him I was cutting and pasting a scrapbook for his brother and his brother's son serving today in Iraq and his own son, still stateside, who decided to watch his cousin's back.
Nary a word out of him now...just a bit of pride peeking out.
I'm still in this manic phase so I got out the cell and called everyone I know. I told them how happy I was. And WHY.
My niece, who suffers my politics but isn't quite there, said she "heard" there was an election today. I waxed on and on and in due course, she became happy too.
Finally I called my daughter, God love her, with whom I argue politics a plenty. She's SLIGHTLY liberal although that has changed greatly since she's had a child of her own.
"Melissa," I shouted into the phone. "We're WINNING. They voted in Iraq today. Turnout is high."
You know what she said? Made me smile.
"Yeah," she responded with enthusiasm. "Even the Sunnis are voting."
God bless she knew that. God bless she's paying attention. God bless that beautiful granddaughter of mine will never have to wear a burqua.
Us Americans who carry this country on our backs, we'll NEVER be against freedom. Who could ever be against a free people?
