I had this history teacher in high school (Nelson help me out here with his name) who told our class that our generation would be a part of more historical moments than any other and man was he right. I have been in awe, inspired, and brought to tears so many times today.
I cried with one of my clients who is bound to a wheelchair after a coma and decided to kick alcohol and all the drugs you can name on his own because he hopes there is better place for him, I cried because Paul heard the inauguration speech with Spencer and Sahalie and had the chance to explain in his own words what it means to him, and I cried because I am so grateful to be a part of this historic moment that is alive with optimism and hope for the future.
There are so many things that touched my heart today and I am sure there will be many more that will reveal itself in time, but for me Spencer said it best when he picked up a rusty button that someone tossed on the side of the road and said "Look mama, Obama is giving her knucks". You got it baby....knucks.

Hmmm...the only history teachers I remember are Mr. Bell and Mr. Jensen...
I cried when I read your post. Nicely put. Oh, and "knucks" made me laugh. Nice job Spencer.
C'mon....he went to Westpoint because he told us ALL the time and his kid who was a year ahead of us ended up going to Westpoint too. His son had a different name that I can't remember either. Ring any bells? OH, it's coming to me....Raif?
Rafe Hart...what a name
