We need each other.

Let me repeat.........We all need each other.

There is a divide I don't understand. And, not just one. I'm tired of seeing them from progressive, liberal and democratic people. I can't wrap my head around it, and don't want to.

We are all one group. Humans. We need each other to make it through our short time on earth. We need each other to make the lives of those yet to come better than ours are.

I understand we sometimes get angry, frustrated, sad, bewildered, and confused. But, without each other we cannot stand up to the Republican Party. We cannot let them win the elections this year or the Presidential election in 2016.

We need old minority men.
We need old minority women.
We need young minority men.
We need young minority women.
We need old, white men.
We need old, white women.
We need young, white men.
We need young, white women.
We need each other.......
...and everyone in between.

Now, I am going outside to enjoy this beautiful Sunday by the pool with three ethnicities, and ranging in age from 71 to 4, and drink adult cokes (beer) and celebrate life, love, and happiness. We may even talk about how far we have all come, and what it is going to take to keep moving forward.

I hope everyone here has a wonderful day!

EDITED TO ADD: Now I'm embarrassed. I forgot to add that one of the couples are two beautiful, wonderful fathers of a 5 year old adorable, little boy.
