I will not get political on Facebook, and this is my safe place where I can voice my opinion. I have been very disappointed in what I have been reading on Facebook today. I feel sorry for my co-workers because of my rants all day long. I was getting very heated over reading and reading about how people are "heartbroken" over the election and how they don't know what to tell their children and have been crying over the results. To me there is a difference between heartbreak and disappointment. You are disappointed over the results.
I will tell you what heartbreak is, heartbreak is going into labor at 38 weeks and finding out your baby has died when you get to the hospital. Heartbreak is losing your child to cancer and having to visit them at the cemetery while life goes on for everyone else. Heartbreak is losing your spouse of 50 some years and having to live and sleep alone until you can join them in Heaven. That's what heartbreak is.
Disappointment is what you may be feeling with this election. It didn't turn out the way you wanted so you are anger and disappointed. To me crying is not the answer, because you know what I cried over this week my son's grave.
If you know me you know what my political views are and I will be happy to tell you who I voted for and why. But you know what, the sun came up this morning and life goes on. If you are wondering what to tell you children continue to tell them to be nice and respectful and to treat others with dignity and respect. You take them to teach them that America is great because we get the right to vote for who we want and voice our opinions.
Please respect one another and accept what is and move on. You never know great things may be in store for us.
