Warning to Chris who rarely speaks his political opinion and supports his nation and leaders as he should: You Probably Shouldn't Read This Post...
Because I am feeling extra irritated and a bit more bitter than in days past, I am writing this post. On the way to school this morning, the radio station was having people call in and leave farewell messages for our dear outgoing President Bush. Instead of calling in, I will air my message on this blog. I do not consider myself a political person. Growing up, my Parents, Grandparents and Uncles were extremely vocal about their views/opinions, so I've heard the debates. I, myself, have chosen to take a less involved approach. I tend to side more with Democrats than Republicans because of my more liberal views, but vote according to the issues and how they affect me and my family. With that being said, here we go...
Bye-bye, Mr. Bush. I can't say that I will miss you at all. I hope you look back on your Presidency as I will, remembering all the families you ripped apart. It is because of you that my family is sleeping in two different nations. It is because of you that my husband is fighting in a war that was started on a whim. Your whim. It is because of that whim my daughter cannot hug or kiss her Daddy good-night. It is because of you that my husband is missing out on reading to Claire and teaching her all that he should. It is because of you that my husband will not be here to cut the umbilical cord of his second daughter, hear her first cry or feel her first breath. It is because of you that I will not have the support from my husband when I give birth to our second child. It is because of you that I am 22 weeks pregnant and on my roof shoveling snow or shivering when the heat went out because I am alone fulfilling the roles of both my missing husband and myself as a wife. It is because of you that I lay awake each night wondering what life is like for my husband in that far off land. It is because of you that I pray to God like I've never had to pray before to return my husband safe and unharmed to his wife and children. It is because of you, Mr. President, that I lay praying and hoping that when my husband does return that his spirit and soul is undamaged, so he can raise his daughters and love us all as he should. All this damage has been done to one family in only 2 months time. Just imagine what and whom you have harmed in the 8 years you have haphazardly governed this nation. With that I say farewell. I hope you sleep well with all this on your conscience and may I hope it never leaves you.
With that, I look forward to a fresh breath of air that 12:00 pm today will bring. I am filled with HOPE that Obama will wrap up the loose ends that Bush has unraveled and bring our troops home. I pray for each and every one of them and their families, but most of all, I pray for my husband's safe and speedy return to the life he should not have left.
