It is with great sadness that I write about the passing of Barack Obama's grandmother Madelyn Dunham. She lost her battle with cancer this morning. Channel 7 news reports that she died peacefully at her home in Hawaii. Unfortunately she didn't make it to see what a historic impact her grandson could have had on our country. I personally just want to take this time to acknowledge Madelyn Dunham for giving us such a wonderful, influential and courageous man! Barack Obama always credits her for raising him with the stability, strength and love that he was unable to receive from his parents (due to the fact that his father was absent and his mother traveled a lot). Our prayers are with Barack today and tomorrow as he prepares to push forward without his grandmother.
