My grandpa got Michelle Obama’s book for Christmas, started crying, and then said, “I can take myself off of the waitlist at the library, I was 353rd in line to read it.”

He called to say he'd be "a little late" getting home but made it by 7:00 p.m. I had cooked a pot roast, so it "held" well.

I, too, cried. Read the whole thing that night. She is amazing.

Go, grandpas and grandmas (I am one of the latter). What a beautiful post. Thank you!
