I woke up to Leila standing by my bedside. I said to her, “Leila, Barack Obama won, he is the new president!” She gave me a high-five. We rolled into work, and even though it hadn’t rained there was a rainbow in the sky. No, I am serious, ask Cory. Today I am so proud of America, proud of Iowa and just down right giddy. God Bless America.

"We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are always there for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.

"The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."
