Well, it took 244 years, but we finally have a woman as Vice President of the United States.

I watched the Inauguration with Pippa. Her teacher gave special asynchronous time for the kids to watch the coverage at home, but if he had not, I would have let her miss school. I wanted her to witness history as Kamala Harris took the oath of office.

I teared up as Kamala Harris spoke the words. The phrase “chills going down my spine” gets a bit overused BUT that was what happened to me. Chills. Down my spine. In the best possible way.

I told Pippa that I had waited forty-two years for this moment. She was appalled. “I only had to wait seven!”

Thank god. I am so glad my daughter gets to grow up in a world where a woman is finally the Vice President of the United States.

And when a woman is elected President of the United States? My head might just explode with joy.
