Journal / i’m sure that you’ve heard the news, but senator obama has suspended his campaigning

i’m sure that you’ve heard the news, but senator obama has suspended his campaigning to go
and be with his grandmother, who is apparently very ill.
like senator obama, i was raised by a single mother, and my mom and i received unbelievable
help from my grandmother.
from what senator obama has made public, his grandmother helped to raise him and helped
to put him through college, so i can only imagine that his sadness and worry are similar to what i experienced
when my grandmother became very ill at the end of her life.
i hope that we’re able to put aside partisan bickering for the time being and give our best hopes
and prayers to senator obama and his grandmother.
thanks
