I opened my eyes this morning at 7:00, and immediately felt he was also awake. He got up and briefly wandered around. I felt this incredible expectation, even while barely awake. Something important had happened. As he returned to bed, I asked “Who won?”. “Monsieur Obama”, he replied as he slipped back into bed. I broadly smiled and he cuddled up against me, hugging me from behind. I peeked through the open bedroom door and could see the cats smiling in the living-room. Still one more hour before I had to get up for work and life was already good. That early in the morning! Definitely good.

Last night they could, and Yes! they did. And I am truly thankful.
