With One Day Left

With one day left , I urge you to exercise your right to vote in the election! Not only is the presidency at stake, but local elections are too.

Tomorrow is definitely going to by an exciting day.. and I can't wait! :)

On a much sadder side note, Barack Obama's maternal grandmother Madelyn Payne Dunham passed away today after a long battle with cancer. In a joint statement that was released, Obama and his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng said:

She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility,"

"She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure."

Obama and Soetoro-Ng asked that donations be made for the search for a cure for cancer in lieu of flowers
