Last Christmas I took a trip to New Hampshire with my oldest daughter and one son. (I have four children).The purpose of my going was to campaign for Michelle Obama's husband Barack...he he I like the way that sounds. While I am awed by the story of the Obama family and how it fits into my story as an American woman, I often wondered how you, Michelle were holding up. For an anniversary present my husband bought me tickets to listen to you speak at Ned Lamonte's house in Greenwich. (Nice diggs), when they were talking about their addition and tittering I wondered what you were thinking) Actually we won't even go there. What was amazing was your presence. Your story is the American woman's story, the only difference is now history has taken a turn and the spotlight is on you making life surreal. Your struggles between raising children and building a career are all of our struggles. When do we take a day off, how can we miss that meeting. Etc. I know that after graduate school I had expectations that my career would finally take a position of importance in our family life, but one of my children is emotioally crippled from being in an orphanage in Russia for four years. HOWEVER... when we went to hear your husband speak everything changed. At 11 years of age he knew that something important was happening. He threw himself over the barrier and the secret service into your husband's arms and told him that he loved him. Your husband hugged him back. Every one else was flipping out. I knew this is a man that loves children. My son Misha then introduced himself to Susan Rice and Tony Lake. What a night. While it must not be easy for you...this road in the spot light..it will be worth it. We are with you and your family every step of the way!
