I am sitting watching the Democratic Convention thinking about my parents who w life long democrats.

They were part of the greatest generation.

My Father was a WWII veteran.

They were precinct judges for 50 years, same precinct.

They never missed working one election.

I met a lot of great democrats in office because of my parents.

When my Father passed away so many people came to his funeral and wake. So many people came up to me and told me stories about my parents.

I am watching this convention with my parents in spirit.

My mom would be so proud to vote vote for the first woman president.

When I vote in November straight democrat in the same precinct my parents worked at for 50 years my parents will be with me.

I was precinct judge for 10 years after my parents retired.

This election is so important.

The future of our country is a stake.

I voted for Bernie in the primary but i will be voting for Hillary in November.

My parents would have done the same.

Thanks for reading this.

I am missing my parents tonight.
