Michelle Obama shared one of her favorite memories via Twitter on Monday.
Former first lady Michelle Obama shared one of her favorite memories via Twitter on Monday, noting it's a moment spent with her mother and family that she'll "never forget." Along with her message is a link to her husband and former President Barack Obama's recounting of election night 2008 and what he was thinking about as his projected victory was announced. Barack Obama recalls his mother-in-law, Marian Shields Robinson, was sitting on the couch and comments, "I could tell she just seemed like she wasn't clear all this had happened…and I said, 'How are you feeling?'" He remembers that Robinson replied, "Well, it's just a little overwhelming, isn't it?" Speaking on what that victory must have been like for her, Barack Obama notes, "as somebody who grew up in a deeply segregated Chicago," and, despite her talents, always encountered barriers, "for her to see this moment, where suddenly…her daughter was going to be the next first lady of the United States…seeing it through her eyes, I think, made it a little more special."
