Because I'm kind of speechless. Wow. I've always felt like it was kind of a blessing to be born into the world at the time I was, to be present during this time in history (to see these last dayz ). But to actually bear witness and have had a hand in the election of the first American of African descent in history to the Presidency of the United States, that's something.
