RIP. At least she lived a pretty long life and got to see her daughter become First Lady...Not something 90% of other moms can say.
Yeah, especially when you consider that Barack's parents were long gone when he became one of the yongest presidents. Not to mention that his mother was only 19 when she gave birth, but already died of cancer in 1995. Meanwhile, Dubya was fortunate enough to have both his parents around well beyond his terms in office. Even Biden's mother was still there for the first year of his vice presidency.
However, it feels surreal to be reminded that Barack is already 62 and Michelle 60. Feels like they're so much younger.
His grandma almost made it, died Election Day.
