I knew today would be an emotional day...
I got up early to watch the inauguration. My partner needed to be to work at 8... so I took her a little early, so I could get back in time to watch the swearing in and Obama's speech.
I was driving back home, and I was listening to the goings-on on the radio, and Aretha Franklin sang, "My Country Tis of Thee".
Tears started streaming down my face. I had to pull over and wait until it was over.
I am a wus when it comes to things like that... but it was probably one of the most moving things I had ever heard.
You can find the video on Youtube. Go watch it. You won't be disappointed.
