8. I was Hoping To See Him Join With Them

...I miss him. And I was so proud of him. He wasn't my choice in former times, although I did vote for him when he was on the final ticket. I was so, so sad when he stepped down, but his choice with Kamala was as wise as I gave him credit. even when I felt disappointment.

I have been with First Nations community with my First Nations kids and as a white woman I grew to respect the elders. They always come first, even when a communal dinner was served, they ate first. From the family up in the tribe they made the decisions. Nobody doubted they had good reason because they just always knew best.

Because I saw this is why through my tears, I trusted him, because he is our National Elder. Elders do not have to run miles, or write an opus, they have so much more to offer from their lives. We whites and other cultures who do not have this hope of their elders miss so much. Wherever they go our First Nationals young who see who Biden really is, I wish they will drum and sing and dance for who he is! I am never tired of this drumming and song, it makes my own heart sing. Oh I wish I could see this...

Love, Cat in Seattle
