Hillary's Mom

I was brought to tears many times this week over seemingly insignificant things. (Remember, I'm the girl who cries at McDonald's commercials?)

The thing that had me a blubbering mess, however, doesn't seem insignificant to me. Hillary's mother, Dorothy Rodham, was present at many of the Senator's campaign stops over the week. I looked at her looking at her daughter in admiration and just started sobbing. Can you imagine what it must be like to see your daughter breaking the ultimate gender barrier? I imagine the mother of every presidential candidate must be proud, but this woman gave birth to and raised the first woman to actually have a chance at the presidency of the United States!

My heart bursts with pride when my daughter makes a wobbly turn while ice skating or remembers to say say "please" and "thank you" when conversing with adults. I know my daughter will accomplish great things and she certainly doesn't have to run for president for me to be proud.

My hat is off to you, Dorothy Rodham, for raising a woman to make all women proud!
