Barack Obama's grandmother passes on the eve of election day..

This one touched my heart on a different level.

With the presidential election less than 24 hours away, democratic hopeful Barack Obama was hit with the news that his ailing grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, had lost her battle to cancer earlier this morning. This hits home partly because I recently lost an uncle (RIP Uncle Johnny) to lung cancer this past July, and partly because Obama, in my opinion, is on the verge of becoming America's first black president and will not have the one form of inspiration here, in the physical, to celebrate this momentous accomplishment.

My heart goes out to you Mr. Obama, your sister, and all of your family. God bless.
