Today, Barack Obama's grandmother, the woman who raised him, passed away due to cancer. I have an incredible soft spot for awesome grandparents, as I lived with my grandparents for 3 years as a kid when my parents got a divorce and my mom went back to school, so I find this nearly heartbreaking. This lady seemed like a truly amazing woman, who, despite any political affiliations you may have, definitely raised a decent, amazing son who was obviously adored by her and who she was immensely proud of. We can only hope that we will all be so lucky as to be able to raise our children in such a manner.
And, on a shamelessly political note, I'm sure she will be smiling down from heaven when her grandson carries on her legacy and is elected to the highest office in the land tomorrow, ensuring a presidency that is friendly to strong, wonderful women like his grandmother.
