what.next.
November 11th, 2008Thanks for the email Judith. I was out hanging/knocking from 7am till 7:58pm elections night [after which, I went and sat under a tree at the foot of the mountain,(in the rain) and prayed...and prayed....and cried...and prayed and sent hope and faith---while the deer, looked on, (I was in their spot...)]. Despite nursing school, I worked tirelessly and spent several 12 hour days before that, through-out the campaign (hundreds of phone calls, too many doors to count). I had successfully distributed the 20 copies of Barack’s book that I bought in June, I spoke tirelessly with family and friends…I donated more than I had, to the campaign (I am a single mother of three boys)…knowing, that, if each of us did all we could. and saw the vision as real…(as Michele told us) we could get there. Hallelujah!!!! Thank God almighty… I have waited for over 30 years for this day… I had given up all hope. I truly cannot believe that I have lived to see this day. I know that our task now, is to find those in our community who voted for McCain. and to build bridges….and try to mend fences.. Lets hope we can make progress there. I saw a house that put a McCain sign next to their two Obama signs-after the acceptance speech. I thought that was nice. Thank your for your dedication. Lets all stay in touch. This exceptional, brilliant, and amazing man, and his family, need our support, love, and prayers. He now embodies all of our hope. What a burden. May the Light of Joy and Grace walk with him. God bless…and I can say it now….Isn’t Michele Obama the most amazing, powerful, beautiful, awesome woman.mother!!? She embodies all my values as a mother. I am an artist…and my children are my masterpiece. God bless her. She is a goddess…and a powerful sister. we are so blessed. I bow before them both. Be Well, Lori Skyrud 639 W. Kent Ave. Missoula, MT 59801 will you be at the meeting tonight at 7, city hall?? dem. meeting?
