Yes, we've been sore hurt the last nearly 4 outrageous years.

It's still a tad rocky until the Inauguration, but I keep reminding myself what if the unthinkable happened. 2016. I had strong conviction until I didn't. Wavered until it was looking pretty sure.

I could never ever get 2016 out of my recent memory.
