Ok. When I read this open letter from Obama to his beautiful daughters I will admit to crying. The man is a wonderful father.

Here are some of my favourite parts:
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me--about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.
This man adores his daugthers. It is obvious in every word that he writes. How can anyone doubt a man that loves his family so much? He is not only wanting the best for his daughters but for all the children in America.
I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.
I love this man. Any man who is willing to show his emotions and his whole hearted love for his children publicy like that, is a real man and a great human being.
His children are secure in his love. And not enough children in this world are as lucky as they are.
and it ends,
Love, Dad
