Inaugeration 2009: A note to my daughters.

Stephanie, Arianna’s mom, here.  I thought I would post on my own behalf today.  A message to both my girls, on such an inspirational day.  Today I am thankful for the encouragement that is brought forth by the symbolism of todays events.  History will be made in so many ways, and we are blessed to be able to live in such a great country.  Words that come to mind today are Pride, Collaboration, Equality, Hope, Uplifted, and Worthy.  I hope that this feeling will resonate for many years to come.  I pray that the new leader of our country will be able to bring us safely through these tough times.  When you look back and read these words I hope that the feelings of today have been carried through to the future.  I hope the opportunities we fight for now, will be everyday occurances- the norm.  When you speak of history I hope that the true change, today’s events bring, will rank among the greatest moments in life.  Believe, trust, grow, talk, help, reach, push, challenge, empathize, dream, and above all love.
