Dear Hillary;
As I write this “Thank you” I
realize that you made us all feel as if you knew us so personally, that you
have always represented the people so well, that it doesn’t feel right to
address this letter formally.
THANK YOU so very much for your incredible service to this great
country. From political activism, to First Lady, then from senator to Secretary
of State, your tireless work on behalf of America is appreciated so deeply that
a simple “thank you” really falls short.
A story I’d like to share is about my thirteen year old daughter and how
you’ve helped shape the person she is becoming. Last Saturday my family was marching through the rain in San
Francisco with thousands of people supporting women’s rights and to protect the
freedoms which you have spent your career safeguarding. I was walking next to our young son
(Carrying our “I’m STILL with her!” poster) while my wife walked with our
daughter who, when we left our warm home that day, wasn’t quite sure what to
expect or if she even wanted to be going to downtown San Francisco. After all, when you’re thirteen there
are so many things on your agenda J
Hours later we were drenched and excited to be part of the march and my
daughter had an energy and drive behind her I’ve never, quite, seen before. The
next day she was still making posters and she has been writing and reading on
the issues about which millions marched on Saturday.
Had you not run for President, had you not inspired such loyalty, had
you not been the amazing woman you are, my daughter would not – right now – be
as inspired and hopeful as she so obviously is.
We SO wanted you to become our forty-fifth President. But, it is so
important that you know, your legacy is HOPE, and activism, and freedom, and
the political awakening of a generation of young ladies and men who have grown
through your example.
Thank you Hilary!
