On the day.....

..that the very first african american made his presidential oathe, I was at home watching the innauguration with my son. I was very emotional watching this inauguration. I told Noah about Obama and told him how big of an event this was for our country (he didnt really care:).
I talked with my 92 year old grandfather about the magnitude of this day. We talked about how my grandmother would have loved to have seen this day. We talked about how much my grandfather has seen in his lifetime and how America has changed. We counted..... my grandfather has lived through 17 presidents!!!
