Victory Letter



N,
just so you know, the right person won.

the person who will take better care of you, your husband, your son.
the person who will make it possible for c. to grow up in a kinder, gentler nation.
the person most likely to pursue peace and not killing and torture.
the person who will make this a fairer country for women and people of color, for the unfortunate and homeless, for the sick and insane.

i am bawling tears of joy and relief.
an 8-year nightmare stomach acid fear
is over.

i wish you could feel the pride i am feeling right now. it is so overwhelming, my chest is heaving.

something finally right.

i'd like to note that while the last 8 years have sucked the big one really really really badly...things have honestly sucked since a year so long ago, that as a pot-smoking northern california public school educated person, i can't even tell you when it was except way way long ago.

like in star wars.
