I just woke up my 4-year-old

He's been very interested in the race. He's a smart cookie.

I just went up to his bedroom to give him a kiss. I whispered in his ear:

"It's all going to be OK for you now, baby. It's OK."

He looked up at me and smiled before drifting back off.

1. Aww, very touching.

Everything will be okay finally.

2. OK, I wasn't going to cry, but this was so touching here we go..

I have been so sad for the last eight years. My son had to grow up under the "threat of terrorism". Hopefully, we can now try to live a more normal life.

4. My kids have been following the results tonight

I had to send them to bed with a promise to let them know first thing tomorrow. It was just like New Year's Eve.
