Χθες το βράδυ, η Michelle ανέβασε στο Instagram μια φωτογραφία από τη δεξίωση του γάμου τους, αποκαλύπτωντας ότι ο σύζυγός της ήταν άρρωστος εκείνη την ημέρα. «Δεν μπορείτε να το καταλάβετε από τη φωτογραφία, αλλά ο Barack ξύπνησε τη μέρα του γάμου μας τον Οκτώβριο του 1992 με ένα απίστευτο κρύωμα. Με κάποιο τρόπο, μέχρι να έρθει η ώρα να συναντηθούμε στο ιερό είχε γίνει καλά και καταλήξαμε να χορεύουμε σχεδόν όλο το βράδυ», έγραψε στη λεζάντα. 

 

You can’t tell it from this photo, but Barack woke up on our wedding day in October, 1992 with a nasty head cold. Somehow, by the time I met him at the altar, it had miraculously disappeared and we ended up dancing almost all night. Twenty five years later, we’re still having fun, while also doing the hard work to build our partnership and support each other as individuals. I can’t imagine going on this wild ride with anybody else.

Στη συνέχεια, πρόσθεσε: «Είκοσι πέντε χρόνια αργότερα, ακόμη περνάμε καλά, ενώ ταυτόχρονα δουλεύουμε σκληρά για να κτίσουμε τη σχέση μας και να στηρίζουμε ο ένας τον άλλο. Δεν μπορώ να με φανταστώ σε αυτή τη ζωή με κανέναν άλλο». 

 

Home has always been where our family is...It hasn’t mattered whether we’re lounging on a couch in Chicago’s Hyde Park or, as we are here, in the White House. We did our best to make the White House a comfortable place where our girls could climb trees and host slumber parties, where we’d have dinner together as a family, and where we tried to live by the values our parents instilled in us.

Μάλιστα, υποσχέθηκε πως στις επόμενες μέρες θα ανεβάσει και άλλες φωτογραφίες από τα παλιά, που τις ξυπνάνε όμορφες αναμνήσεις. 

 

This is me at Princeton in the early 1980s. I know that being a first-generation college student can be scary, because it was scary for me. I was black and from a working-class neighborhood in Chicago, while Princeton’s student body was generally white and well-to-do. I’d never stood out in a crowd or a classroom because of the color of my skin before. But I found close friends and a mentor who gave me the confidence to be myself. Going to college is hard work, but every day I meet people whose lives have been profoundly changed by education, just as mine was. My advice to students is to be brave and stay with it. Congratulations to the Class of 2018! #ReachHigher

Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing some photos and memories from my book, BECOMING. My father, Fraser, taught me to work hard, laugh often, and keep my word. My mother, Marian, showed me how to think for myself and to use my voice. Together, in our cramped apartment on the South Side of Chicago, my family helped me see the value in our story, in my story, and in the larger story of our country.
