A message to our daughters this morning,

I read this somewhere this morning and thought it was very well written and worth sharing.

What I will say to my daughter this morning.

This country is bigger than any one person. It’s bigger than its president. It has leaders who can lead, and lead well. It is filled with people who are loving and caring. Millions of Americans who will work every day to make this country better.

You are loved. Your parents, your teachers, your friends, and the adults around you will care for you. They will try to create a world that’s better, a place that’s stronger.

There are many people in this country who are hurting – deeply. They see a country where they cannot find jobs that pay them well, where they cannot afford health care, where they cannot keep their homes. They don’t think our country’s leaders have helped them – and they wanted to try something new. So, they’ve elected Donald Trump president, and they’re hoping he can lead. If he surrounds himself with competent people with good ideas, and if he allows the good leaders in Congress to help him, and if all of us continue to speak out, then this country can still move forward.

If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to do, do it. You can still make a difference – you can still do so much good. So much of this country is based on what individuals do in small ways – not what on one leader does in big ways.

Always keep fighting. Always keep believing. Have hope. Even tomorrow, there will be hope.

And one more thing: specifically to our daughters. Hillary Clinton won’t be the first female president of the United States. The glass ceiling of the Javits Center remains intact. But that doesn’t mean you can’t break barriers. And it does mean that someone else will have to break it.

Perhaps that someone will be you.
