It's a big day for my hometown. It's a big day for the Democrats, and for everyone else. I just wish my dad was here to see it.
We lost our dad on October 17. It was sudden, and terrible. I'm not sure I have much to say about it yet. I'm very sad, but I had the best dad for 27 years. The best. I have a great family, sweet pets, a Democratic African-American president-elect, and hope.Maybe we should all be so lucky.
But I'm still going to strangle the next person who tells me he's in a better place. Or sends those goddamn white lilies.
