If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died-you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift.

I have a lot that I intend to do in this life.

I grew up in a Navy family.

Everybody has their burdens, their grief that they carry with them.

We have a middle class that lives on a razor blade. So sometimes when you say poverty, you neglect a large portion of the population.

You never know when something's going to hit you in a particular way and just knock you loose.

I think being an effective First Lady is first of all being the partner that your husband needs.
