KAREN! I wish you could be here in this frenetic town right now and photograph the fireworks, the joyful screaming faces, the unity, the HOPE. YES WE CAN!!!!!!

I wish I could be there, too! I hope you're having enough fun for me, as well! :-)

I'm up in Vancouver, BC, celebrating with you! I cried when I heard that Obama had been elected President. I am so thrilled for my American friends - and for the whole world. This is a deeply hopeful time. Sacred, really.
i was crying my eyes out too
As did I. What a wonderful night!
I'm a Canadian (living in Alberta) married to an American, and I cried, too. I had the honour of witnessing history tonight.
Amen.
I think most of us cried tonight. What an amazing and wonderful time to be alive. I'm so grateful.
I cried too. awesome. hopeful. empowered. overjoyed.
yes we did.
Me, too. I feel like dancing in the streets! What relief.
