Sticky: I’m Grateful

Hello

When this post was first published back on Thanksgiving, it was a modest tribute to the work of President Obama up to that point. Since then, not only that more was done - This little post went a little viral. Weeks later, I still moderate comments. Some of them extremely moving, some of them from people who are not even Americans – most of them beautiful. (Dozens, even hundreds of those comments are under specific photos, just click on the pictures of the president in the post itself).

Therefore, I’ve decided to stick this post, and will continue to update it. First update right behind the cut. Enjoy.

I’m grateful for the room-lighting smile:
