The way Michelle Obama talks about her daughters has us tearing up
It’s no wonder Meghan Markle was so taken by the Michelle Obama interview in the September issue of British Vogue, which was guest-edited by the royal family’s newest mom. Even over email, the former First Lady left the Duchess of Sussex “somewhat speechless” with her musings on motherhood, and we’re still dabbing our eyes over the way she talks about 21-year-old Malia and 18-year-old Sasha (and their tiny baby voices!).
“Being a mother has been a masterclass in letting go,” she explained, sharing how hard it’s been to relinquish control with such a fierce desire to protect her children. “But life has other plans. Bruised knees, bumpy roads and broken hearts are part of the deal.”
Obama went on to say, “What?s both humbled and heartened me is seeing the resiliency of my daughters. In some ways, Malia and Sasha couldn?t be more different. One speaks freely and often, one opens up on her own terms. One shares her innermost feelings, the other is content to let you figure it out. Neither approach is better or worse, because they?ve both grown into smart, compassionate and independent young women, fully capable of paving their own paths.”
