The future for my boys?

I don't post things like this since this blog is about our family but the results of this election will have long and lasting effects on our family and especially the future for my boys.  And I'm sad.  I'm not angry or resentful, just sad. I worry about the country my boys will inherit, the opportunities they will or will not have available to them, the debt they will have to repay, a healthcare system that was second to none in the world and will soon be socialized medicine and a weakened and diminshed national defense.  I want my boys to know that you work hard for what you want, and it's a wonderful thing to be successful (something you should not be ashamed of), and we give back to our community and those who are less fortunate.  But most of all I want them to remember no matter what, life is what you make it.  You can choose to be the sun or you can choose to be the rain.  And I know my boys...they are the brightest sunshine and the biggests joys in my life! 

I realize we don't all agree on WHAT we think is best for our country but we can agree that we want our country to be the best.

Tomorrow is a new day:)
