Dear Nine Year Old Jennifer,

You are about to be part of history. It’s really happening. I know dad told you it would never happen. I know you were devastated when you realized the world thought less of you because you were a girl. I know what it felt like to hear someone tell you – not in your lifetime. Guess what? You are 40, and it is possible. Ignore the gross way women are still treated and focus on the strength of the women who have gotten us this far. 

Love,

Me
PS: I’m gonna miss the call from grandma making sure I voted democrat.
