My DAD just sent me the Michael Moore letter to Obama

Reposting a thread by my sister about my father, dated Nov 13, 2008.

My Dad had been sedated for the past 10 days--since before the election.

He had cardiac arrest that Sunday, and had been on a respirator and sedated almost constantly.

But today he came off the respirator and out of sedation, and wanted to know what happened. He's not able to talk yet, or even hold a pen. He can only communicate by tracing letters into my mother's hand. "What happened?" he laboriously traced. My mother expained that they'd had to do CPR on him and that he'd been in the hospital all this time.

Then he kept tracing something else. My Mom and my aunt couldn't figure it out. They were getting frustrated. "Can it wait until tomorrow?" They asked him. It could, he nodded, but he looked dejected at the thought. So they kept trying.

W....H....O....W....O...N

Who won?

Who won the election? Yes, that was what he wanted to know.

Obama! And he raised both his fists into the air with a grin.

Edited because I left out a word. I had just gotten off the phone with my Mom and I was a little excited. :)

I am glad he opposes it, and amused that he might think he needs to try to convince me. But I feel overwhelmingly sad right now all the same.
