All we can do is hope and pray that his grandmother will get better to watch her grandson be President.
Obama got another gift from God. Obama is allowed to see and talk to his GrandMother before she leaves this earth, I wasn't so lucky. My Dad died before I got to the hospital and that stays with me. I had so much to tell him and thank him for I hope he knows it in his heart. With God's blessing let's hope Mrs. Dunham stays with us long enough to hear her loving grandson has become President of the United States of America.
