Tonight, Obama will speak as the nominee. Mark the moment.
Remember that first time as a kid when you had that stupid smile that stretched from ear-to-ear, and made your face feel painfully tight?
Remember the first time your parents praised you?
Remember the first time you helped someone, and felt good about it?
Remember the first time you did something better than you thought you would?
Remember the first time help came from where you didn't expect it?
Remember that first feeling when you opened your favorite Xmas present?
Remember that first A?
Remember that first C, the one you thought would be an F?
Remember that first kiss?
Remember that first "I love you?"
Remember that first view of your child?
Remember that first time you felt the world was getting better?
Remember where you are today-because you'll never want to forget it.
Remember where you are when you listen to Obama speak tonight.
Remember the feeling you'll have when he talks about what today means.
Tomorrow
Remember the Americans that didn't have that feeling today.
Remember that the work until November will be greater than the effort so far.
And remember that the joy in November will be that much greater.
Today was a good day. They'll be even better ones ahead.
