americanices - III

costumo ler uns quantos blogs de american mothers e tem sido muito interessante ler todas as reacções e comentários às eleições. o excerto que aqui deixo tocou-me particularmente:

"Yesterday left me so wrapped up in tangled thoughts and emotions I felt at a loss for the right words in my post. But I wanted to share a quick, simple story of a single moment yesterday, the moment I dropped my daughter off at school. Then I'm moving on from politics... for now. It was the tiniest encounter really, but it impacted my deeply. As I drove into the parking lot of the school, and pulled up along side another mom (who I know pretty well), she turned to me as I turned to her... I smiled... she smiled bigger, bursting almost... and through closed windows she spoke three words - "yes we can."

As silly as this moment may sound, it was a connection between two mothers as our girls, carrying bookbags and lunchboxes, tumbled out of our cars. As women and as mothers our energy is renewed. We need that for our children, our husbands, and for our communities. "
