Before , during , & after the Elections ....

Hello friends
the Elections day was yesterday ..
Early in the morning (7:00 am) my dad , grandma, & grandpa went & voted (before the terrorists wake up ! hshshshsh ).. my brother ( 19 month old ) was sick( flu &teething) so my mom couldn’t sleep at night because she had to take care of him , therefore she couldn't go early with them , but at 10:00 she waked up& went to vote with some neighbors, it was a great thing to see all the neighbors walking together to the voting station , men & women , girls & boys ,(ah I wish I am 18 !)
There were different opinions between the neighbors , about the candidates, but I think the most important thing that they went & VOTED , no matter for whom ……


If I could vote , I would vote for Allawy (731), but this is my OWN opinion , some people may agree with me , & some may disagree , I think that Allway is an educated & courageous man , & that what we need ….again this is my opinion & I might be wrong !


The days before the Elections ………
As you know we have a stroll ban , so we were stuck at home , but on Tuesday , we went to have dinner with our next door neighbors , I had fun there , we came back home at 9:30 & yesterday they came & had dinner with us …….
my grandparents who live in Baghdad , called us they said that they went to vote with some neighbors ,fortunately my grandparents could vote , but my mom's uncle's wife couldn't, the officials there told her that she have to vote in another voting station !!! and that voting station was faraway from their neighborhood !!! that was unfair I guess….
my grandpa's friend & his family went to vote & guess what ?!!! the officials told them that their names were in Basra ( an Iraqi city in the south) !!!! that is ridicules it Is about 8 hours by car !!! I know it is unbelievable but it is true !!
I will go to school on Sunday I'll have geography exam , the stroll ban will end on Sunday morning (at 6:00 am I guess ) , I will be so busy this week with the double homework, but I assure you I will write to you whenever I have time , my mom told me to study in this holiday but I didn't want to, I wanted to have a rest , but do you know?! she was right , I should have studied for the midyear exam , it will be on January..
"who makes no mistakes makes nothing ",……….

Stay safe , & live strong ! ………
Sunshine …..

Congratulations to all Iraqis who voted! I remember how excited I was to vote for the first time when I turned 18. I vote every election. Sometimes my favorite candidate wins and sometimes they don't. It's important to keep working at democracy and not give up on it just because of a loss. In the US it took decades for our founders to get the constitution right, and for things to work out. It took a very long time to get fairness between people of different racial and cultural backgrounds. We are still working on it! I pray for peace for Iraq, and for patience for all the people while it is worked out! Stay Strong!
