Do you ever get butterflies?  I do, but only when I am about to present to a lot of people, tell someone bad news or when I see someone I’ve missed.  Well, fortunately, I’m not presenting until later this week; I received bad news on Monday, but I didn’t have to give any.  However, I did see someone I missed.  My husband flew into town from D.C.

I felt butterflies.  They erupted as soon as he came walking through the terminal.  And the weird thing is that they haven’t gone away yet.  He and I played like kids for most of the day.  I caught him staring, and then I’d stare back.  As much as he irritates my very soul, I love him dearly. 

I guess that you could say, with both of us working over 1,000 miles apart, my prayers were answered when I saw him.  I knew that some things in this world can be constant no matter what.  This – us- we’re one of them.

I am the most excited woman in the world right now! Well, me and about 3 million other people who have supported our President for at least 18-24 months during this election season! Tonight, we all made history. We have saved our country from another 4 years of complete financial oppression. We have realized Dr. King’s dream; we have made true Kennedy’s forecast; we have seen beyond our biases to elect the first African-American president. Raise the roof! I am so proud. So happy. I can tell my children and grandchildren about this night for the rest of my life. God Keep Him! And GOD BLESS AMERICA!
 

 

 

Latrivia Nelson Talks about Senator Obama & the Loss of His Grandmother

I felt an enormous since of hope and pride with the announcement of Senator Barack Obama as our Democratic Presidential Candidate, which I have never felt before in my entire life.  As a young woman, I have longed for a national leader whom I could embrace fully and who could create the change in the public that we need as it relates to African-Americans in leadership positions.  I also longed for a better platform and view of multi-racial children and interracial marriage.  Barack has created that international dialogue that America has been waiting for and motivated us to strive for more of ourselves.   In regards to his loss, many of us love him deeply and it is truly painful to watch him lose the matriarch of his family.   He has said that she was his motivation and his maverick for change, and we all owe her a great debt of gratitude for being so instrumental in raising such a prolific and visionary young man whom we all love to call Barack Obama.

Sincerely,

Latrivia S. Nelson, average citizen
