I had to watch short clips online later in the day.

I have no worries about this child's evolution into adulthood. And that will be due in large part to her mother.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288945234878607080.post-22186528306497860512013-01-21T19:21:26.363-07:002013-01-21T19:21:26.363-07:00Great post, Keicha, and moving.

You ARE a cool mom to keep her awareness of important life events at such a top level, and she will know. Keep doing the good job you are.Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288945234878607080.post-22805901417038323102013-01-21T17:59:48.937-07:002013-01-21T17:59:48.937-07:00Thanks DJan.

She comes from a long line of very cool women, from what I can see. One day she will be doing something like this with her own child, I hope. Most likely she will! Congratulations to you, her mom, and to her grandmother for everything you did that made today possible! :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288945234878607080.post-58981513465902025162013-01-21T13:10:31.196-07:002013-01-21T13:10:31.196-07:00Thank you for teaching my granddaughter so well. ...Thank you for teaching my granddaughter so well. This post brought tears to my eyes for so many reasons. I see the tradition that I had as a child, one where we were taught the significance and importance of such occasions in the great history of our nation, being passed on to my granddaughter. I see your heart. I see your passion. I see your belief in a system that is not perfect. I see your belief in social justice. I see your commitment to personal responsibility in maintaining a free society. I see your desire to raise a child who shares your value of having the courage to stand up and be counted for what you believe in even in the face of great personal sacrifice. I am proud to be your mother. I love you. <br /><br />p.s. It was great texting with you during the Inauguration. I would have preferred to be there in person, but at least we could share our thoughts, observations, and emotions as they happened.
