That's how many of the hundreds of responses to our request for Father's Day letters began. As we were on Mother's Day, we're overwhelmed by the number of you who wrote and at what you said - at the emotion and the memories.
Today, along with Seattle Times columnist Nicole Brodeur, we're running excerpts from as many of your letters as we can.
Articles and other published sources for this period included Nicole Brodeur, “Memories of Obama's Mother,” Seattle Times, February 5, ; Amanda Ripley.We wish we could do more.

I haven't lost the vision of my young eyes,
