WhileIbelieveddeeplyinmyhusband'svisionforthiscountry…andIwascertainhewouldmakeanextraordinaryPresident…likeanymother,Iwasworriedaboutwhatitwouldmeanforourgirlsifhegotthatchance.
Howwouldwekeepthemgroundedundertheglareofthenationalspotlight?
Howwouldtheyfeelbeinguprootedfromtheirschool,theirfriends,andtheonlyhomethey'deverknown?
OurlifebeforemovingtoWashingtonwasfilledwithsimplejoys…Saturdaysatsoccergames,Sundaysatgrandma'shouse…andadatenight(约会之夜)forBarackandmewaseitherdinneroramovie,becauseasanexhaustedmom,Icouldn'tstayawakeforboth.
Andthetruthis,Ilovedthelifewehadbuiltforourgirls…IdeeplylovedthemanIhadbuiltthatlifewith…andIdidn'twantthattochangeifhebecamePresident.

Yousee,BarackandIwerebothraisedbyfamilieswhodidn'thavemuchinthewayofmoneyormaterialpossessionsbutwhohadgivenussomethingfarmorevaluable–theirunconditionallove,theirunflinching(坚定不移的)sacrifice,andthechancetogoplacestheyhadneverimaginedforthemselves.
