Independence Day

by Ruthanne on 07/04/2009

Happy Birthday, America. I know you aren’t perfect. You’ve had growing pains, and you still have a long way to go – but I’m grateful. I’m grateful that you can and do change for the better. I’m grateful that you are a place where I can live in relative freedom, and where I can believe that someday the people I love will all have the same freedoms I do.

I am going to keep working toward that goal with everything I have.

For better or for worse, happy Independence Day. America: I do love you.
