Last night we took some time for blessed relief. We watched 'Becoming' on Netflix. It was 89 minutes of beauty, grace, and if I'm honest, a bit melancholy.

It was 89 minutes of being able to breathe. It was beauty and hope. It was inspirational and it is what we can still become again. Take it from her daughter: I admit, I find it difficult to miss the Obama family as much as I do. I think it's actually grieving due to where we find ourselves today and for the past 4 years. It's worth it though, I think it's healthy but most of all, it was just so good to hear and watch a kind person tell us we got this.

I miss the fist lady maybe even more than President Obama. It was so nice to look forward to something and this documentary delivered.

Now for a cherry on top of that cake, there is more to look forward too.

I’ve always loved joining commencements––the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice. Even if we can’t get together in person this year, Michelle and I are excited to celebrate the nationwide Class of 2020 and recognize this milestone with you and your loved ones. pic.twitter.com/ngR2ykx3A2

What every High School senior and College graduate is going through is just heartbreaking. I hope they know the entire country will be celebrating their achievements collectively this year. I am grateful for the honor and privilege to celebrate them and even more grateful for President and First lady Obama for showing compassion kindness and leadership for the future when it is so badly needed at this time. One of those graduates will eventually become president and she will have someone showing them how to lead the way.

There are better angels among us. Happy Thursday.
