    Best one.

      May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
      Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
      And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
      may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one.

Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

              Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers

                Still the best super bowl ad:

                  While I will always love the klidesdales (sp?), I don't think that it's the best of the Super Bowl ads. It comes down to two for me:

                    I continued to watch the SuperBowl in large part on Sunday to see the commercials. I was not blown away by them. Maybe I'm just old now and not as subject to really having a huge emotional reaction to them, or maybe they're just not as clever as they were in the past. I'm not sure.

                    I did really like the Sam Elliot one. In looking up who the kid was across from him, I found the below video of the song that he is noted for. It's a song I love and his own video kind of sets the stage for the commercial. Enjoy!
