15. LOL. But they're sweet community tears. So that's a good thing.
I swear I'm turning into a real wuss lately. This is very strange for me. Guess I'll have to get used to it. :cry:

4. I was just telling someone about that! When the camera showed
her face, you could just see the love in her eyes. It wasn't a look of annoyance or boredom. She is truly proud and in love with Barack!

5. I was the same way. I was touched and proud, on so many
levels. Sometimes I blame it on hormones zinging around. But it's really no use. Might as well just own up to being a softy for that beautiful family.

12. I wish I could hold it. I keep embarrassing myself with my tearing up
all the time.

I'm one of those people who NEVER cries in front of anybody. Had to train myself not to show emotion in the Army and ATF. So I'm not really comfortable with these sniffles I keep getting over that beautiful family. MY family keeps looking at me kinda funny and then I see them smile at each other when I get all teary.

But they're also prepared for my explosion of anger if the repukes manage to steal this one. Anger is something I don't normally show, either. But for important stuff, I'll let it fly.
