As you probably know by now, Barack Obama's grandma died from cancer today. Obama credits Madelyn Payne Dunham for shaping him into the man he is.
"She's the one who taught me about hard work," he said. "She's the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life. She poured everything she had into me."
Dunham was 86 years old.
I'm happy that Obama got to see his grandma before she passed away. It's just too bad that she didn't get to see the election results. God bless her and the Obama family.

We from Musciobsession would like to extend our deepest sympathy for Sen. Obama.
God Bless her Heart.
It really broke my heart to hear of her passing.
I'm so glad he got to spend time with her as well.
I voted today and took my Mom to the polls so she could vote too! :D
It is unfortunate that Obama's grandma passed when she did. It must be difficult for him to deal with that sadness right now. I'm sure she was proud of him no matter what the election results turn out to be, but it would have been nice for her to see how things go.
