TheBanyanTree: A new President

[Sachet]

My son is so proud that he was able to vote in his first election. 
Naturally is is very, very pleased that his chosen candidate one. He 
feels that he is a part of history and is so excited.

My daughter and her husband are gracious enough to be happy for him, 
even though they voted differently.

I am proud of all of them...for each taking the time to vote and most 
especially for their supportive attitudes towards each other.
