This is an incredibly sweet article about the death of Barack's grandmother. There is never a good time for a loved one to die, but it is incredibly poignant to read this article on the eve of what should be an historic day and a wonderful day for the country and Barack Obama. I was very touched by Barack's remarks describing her as one of the quiet people who sacrifice for their children and grandchildren. There have been other articles talking about the courage and decency it must have taken for his grandparents to love him, raise him and sacrifice so much for him.
