Speechless

I tried to write about last night. But I didn’t know where to begin.

I had no words to explain the most beautiful night of my life, the most amazing magical night in my country’s history. I have no words.

I have tears of joy. And an empty bottle of veuve clicquot that we drank warm, because I was too suppositious to put it in the fridge. Didn’t want to jinx it.

And still, a day later. I have no words.

Because there are none.

There are no words to adequately describe or express how if felt to hear the news say the phrase “Barack Obama has won the presidency”

The elation that filled my heart and the hope that filled my soul was something I never thought I would feel in my lifetime.


Finally, finally after all these years, our country will change for the better. Though it will take time, it will change.

Barack Obama won. That’s pretty amazing.

Yes we can. Yes we did.
