“There’s only one thing we can be sure of, and that is the love that we have -- for our children, for our families, for each other. The warmth of a small child’s embrace -- that is true. The memories we have of them, the joy that they bring, the wonder we see through their eyes, that fierce and boundless love we feel for them, a love that takes us out of ourselves, and binds us to something larger -- we know that’s what matters.

We don’t go wrong when we do that.” KnowsFeelsWellsChildrenMatterEyeCareJoyMemoriesWonderKindnessOne ThingTeachingOur ChildrenEmbraceOur FamilyWarmthFierceWhat MattersBoundlessSmall ChildActs Of KindnessDoing RightBoundless Love Author:Barack Obama
