I was asleep and my mom came in my room for some reason. She was crying quietly. She didn't mean to wake me but she did, and I asked her if Kennedy won, and them she told me. I was a little kid but I will never forget that moment. It's making me sad all over. My sister had just seen him in person giving a speech at a local college.
