Tears of Joy

Writing brings me joy. My wife brings me tears of joy. She is dedicated, loving, caring and devoted. And now, she is an American citizen. She took the oath today.

And in two months she will be a college graduate.

Once, long ago, we both worked at jobs daily. I worked hard so that I could bring her home to be with the kids. The kids have grown and now she has worked hard in school so that she can get a job and bring me home so that I may write full-time. Then I will work hard as a writer so that I make enough money to bring her home again.

Oh, and by the way, after taking the oath to naturalize as an American citizen, her first words were, "I can vote."

Ah, to be American. Tears of Joy.
