Yesterday, Scarlett and I celebrated with Mira, one of our nursery workers, and her co-workers at CDM. Seven years ago she came to America from Albania. Monday, Mira, her husband and adult son became US citizens. Words of congratulations brought tears of happiness (hers and ours) as she shared what it means to be a citizen. After years of living under communism, she truly appreciates the freedoms she knows here and wants each of us to remember this blessing that we have. Another son will soon come from Albania to join them. What a humbling and important few minutes we spent with her.
