To me it represents not only her generation, but her normalacy. I’ll remember his daughter using her digital camera throughout the day.

Someday you'll be able to tell your son that he watched it on TV and it will be part of his history as a person. @Megs - I love watching the dynamic in that family too. There was something about watching him hold his younger daughter's hand that caught my breath. Her father may be the commander in chief and her place in the world is still next to her father. What a great reminder of what real priorities look like. @Norcross – I tried explaining it to my nieces yesterday and they stared at me like I had two heads (and they are 6 and 8).

Beyonce was singing "At Last" and before I had even thought about it, I was tearing up. Yes I am SO grateful for a unified nation and for the historical moment that it is. But at this moment I was thankful for a President that has shown the importance of his family and is not shy to show a nation that his wife is the love of his life. We could use some more of that hope, too. I will remember when Obama danced with his wife at the Neighborhood Ball.

It was a powerful moment and I think you described it well why it was such a moment for everyone, regardless of politics. Great post! I teared up too.

Granted, he's 17 months, so I doubt he knew what was going on. But knowing that in his life, there will have always been at least one minority president will make me smile.
