You were too young to remember this year’s general election but you were there with us to vote. We all woke-up thirty minutes early to cast our ballots (it was mainly daddy who had to wake-up early). This general election was the most intense general election I could remember. Daddy was nervous and he

was afraid that he would "bubble in" the wrong presidential candidate. He made sure it was correct and made sure that the all the bubbles were all filled in correctly. Mommy was fast filling in her bubbles and she was done before daddy. Of course, everyone loved you (especially all the old ladies) and you even

received a "I voted" sticker. Daddy was very excited and impatient all day at work, so much that he kept reading the headline news every thirty minutes. It wasn't until 9:06 p.m. that Barack Obama was declared the projected presidential elect! Mommy was so touched that she jumped up off the couch and took pictures of the moment. Daddy was watching T.V. with excitement, Wyatt was trying to sleep but really was waiting for daddy to take him outside, and you were sleeping. I can't wait to see what kind of young lady you will become, and I also can't

wait for the day that you will be eligible to vote in an election. I want tell you that it is important to vote because so many people before you we not able to vote and had to fight for that basic civil right. You may one day understand these struggles but I am confident to tell you that you may become what ever you desire in this world, even the president of the United States of America!
