Ya know, every time I write the words Vice-President Harris, I get a tear in my eye

A woman - of color - daughter of immigrants - incredibly smart - I never thought I would see this in my lifetime.

I just know I will be tearful throughout her swearing in.

I suspect she will be given major responsibilities in the coming administration - there is so much work to be done.

I never considered myself a crier ... but I have teared up more in the last week than I have in years. I know I will be in tears watching them both being sworn in.

Hillary Clinton - our first female Presidential candidate.

Knowing that we have elected Kamala Harris as our next Vice President swells my heart.

Thanks for the post.
