I am feeling the excitement of history in the making. I am pretty much 60% American at heart. I spent most of my life growing up there and so I am right into the American politics.
The funny thing is watching the boys, who are right into it. My brother was able to vote as a newly sworn American citizen. How exciting for him to be part of such an amazing time.
I have so many mixed emotions. I feel proud to see change being made. I feel sad that race and prejudice is still so much a part of our society. I love the fact that my children have seen and felt the power to reach for the stars. Max came to me and said…”Mommy, do you know that I could be mayor of Peterborough or Prime Minister of Canada?”
Reach for the Stars, My Boys!
