It's 8:39PM. I am glued to CNN. My arm is hurting because I have been on the phone all evening with my daughter in Arizona. She is even more anxious than I am.
She tells me that she has lit a candle for Obama's grandmother and for his success tonight. She made her roommate cross himself. She crossed all her three dogs and prayed that we can finally turn this country around. She even has the rosary beads out! I can't help it but start to laugh at her, and at the same time am charmed by her innocence. Then she almost makes me cry when she tells me that Obama's grandma is rooting for him with all the angels and even her beloved Daisy, whom she lost in January is helping him...
She asks me to light a candle also. And I do.
