Cherished Memories
In January of 2009, my wife and I joined over one million of our fellow citizens on Washington Mall and bore witness to history as we watched the inauguration of Senator Barack Hussein Obama as the first African-American President of the United States. There was joy on every face.
In January of 2013, we again joined over a million of our fellow citizens and watched the inauguration of a beloved president for a second term after a decisive victory at the polls. Happiness was everywhere.
Daydreams
In January of 2017, my wife and I will join over one million of our fellow citizens on Washington Mall and bear witness to history as we watch the inauguration of Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton as the first woman President of the United States. There will be joy on every face.
In January of 2021, we will join over a million of our fellow citizens and watch the inauguration of a beloved president for a second term after a decisive victory at the polls. Happiness will be everywhere.
Today, our daydreams are one giant step closer to joining our cherished memories.
What momentous times are these.

(Full Disclosure: Yes, I wrote this earlier, actually at 2 am in the morning after the New York primary. I vowed then to save it until the night of her acceptance. This posting is part of my wifeās and my celebration of this moment of history. I know that many of you share our thoughts.)
