You had a big last few days. Saturday was your photo shoot. Sunday you went to Sardis for the first time. And today (Tuesday, November 2nd) you went to Fort Decatur with Dad to vote. I'd love to tell you it was some historic occasion, but it really wasn't. It will probably go down in history as the 4th or 5th swing of a pendulum from a voting public that isn't real sure where it wants to go. And that is okay.
We'll probably have many many discussions about politics as you get older. The one thing I want you to always remember about every political decision and every political issue is that at the end of the day... each decision affects people. It isn't just an issue. It isn't just a dollar figure or number. It isn't just a debate. Real people and their real lives are affected. Don't ever forget people are at the center of each political discussion. You may turn out to be a Democrat or a Republican or a Libertarian or a Whig or a Bull Moose party member. Just remember decisions have consequences on the lives of people and you have a good starting point.
Miss Lawrence and the Aldrichs said you were the cutest voter they ever had.
