My 3 grown kids will each get a Christmas present: a copy of Pete Souza's new book "Shade."

At least one has already bought the book on Michelle Obama. And the other two will probably get it from someone else.

Souza's book sounds so good and is so relevant to us today.

I remember when I saw his photo of Obama lowering his head so a little black child could see and feel that Obama's hair was like his own. It was a wonderful moment. Kids always loved Obama. IIRC, he was called "The baby whisperer."

God, I feel like crying right now...

1. Bereft without Barack

My only hope is that this whole process will purge the US government of all the slime weasels (McConnell etc) and allow us to get ourselves back on track.

Somehow, when I think of Magnificent #44, I hear him singing Amazing Grace at the funeral at the AME church.

3. He was wonderful! It was hard letting him go...

2. I bought Michelle's book for my best friend.

She and Barack were so classy, so down to earth, so welcoming.

I still miss them.

He is a phenomenal photographer!

6. You can order it from Amazon. I just go on their website and look it up and order.

Easiest way to do Xmas shopping, IMO.
