THE GREATEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER

MY GRANDFATHER TURNED 78TH YEARS OLD YESTERDAY ON ONE OF THE MOST HISTORAL DAYS IN HISTORY EVER. I LISTEN TO HIM TELL ME HOW WHEN HE FIRST GOT TO VOTE, HE HAD TO PAY A VOTING TAX BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK AND THEN THEY HAD HIM TRY TO GUESS HOW MANY MARBLES WERE IN A JAR IN ORDER TO VOTE. YESTERDAY HE GOT TO VOTE WITHOUT PAY AND WITHOUT GUESSES. HE GOT TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY AND HIS RIGHTS WITH MY DAUGHTER AND IT IS A MOMENT IN TIME THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. 3 GENERATIONS OF FAMILY, TOGETHER AT ONE TIME, TO CELEBRATAE HISTORY AND THE PATH THAT WE TOOK TO GET HERE.
