oh wow...the day before the election..I was hoping that she would make it through the election so she could perhaps witness her grandson becoming president. If he does win this will be a very bittersweet time for Obama. Thank God he took those few days out of his schedule to spend time with her.

Oh, this is so sad. I was hoping she'd make it to Election Day.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
RIP, Mrs. Dunham.

OOOHHHHHHHH!! Damn. I so hoped she'd make it to see him make history tomorrow. Well, she'll just have a different seat to the show, I guess. And now he'll know she'll be up there with his Mom and they'll watch over him and be able to celebrate together. Rest in peace, "Toot".

When I was looking at some of the pictures of Obama and his grandparents, I was amazed at how much he resembles his maternal grandfather.
This is so sad, you guys. Grandparents can be very special people--especially when they take over the parent role.

I too had hoped she would live to see him elected. I'd been feeling morose that my mom didn't live to see him elected (she would be ecstatic). I can't imagine the roller coaster of emotion he must be experiencing right now, especially considering that he must be exhausted at this point in the campaign.
RIP Mrs. Dunham

Seriously - I always talk about what a big impact my grandmother (my mother's mother) had in my life, and she didn't even raise me. Hopefully Obama has gotten, or will get, a few moments of solitude when he can take a deep breath and properly mourn.

It's got to really suck being away from his sister right now.
I've been thinking about my grandmother a lot these past few weeks. She has voted Republican as long as I can remember (military town), and I know she walked to the VFW early this morning to cast her ballot. She's 85--so cute! I should call her today after work.

May she rest in peace
And may God grant Barack strength during this time.

This is terrible. I was hoping she'd make it to see whether or not he'd get the presidency.
RIP
