......thought i would never live to see the day

This man,who grew up during a time of segregation,racism,civil rights,who dreamed the dream of Dr.King,and almost saw that dream die,who never gave up hope,who always loved his fellow man,no matter the color of their skin,who treats me like a son,and has made me a better person by knowing him,takes a break from work to watch our new President take the oath of office.I am grateful for the opportunity to share this moment with my friend.
