I know what hundreds of postcards from strangers from all over the world can do for a grandparent. Your letters and pictures and cards keep coming in to Virginia and Harold and have lifted their spirits.
It's time to do it again folks. In the spirit of the "Grandpa Harold" diaries, please send some love to Obama's grandmother who is ill and in need of our thoughts and prayers. Let that fine lady know how much we love her grandson and what he means to us.
Here is the address:
Mrs. Madelyn Dunham
In care of: Obama for America
Honolulu Headquarters
1050 Ala Moana Blvd Ste D2690
Honolulu, HI 96814
(Attention: From the other Rec'd diary, Andy Winer, the Hawaii state director for the Obama campaign, has confirmed that the campaign will make sure that the cards are sent to the Obama family. Thanks Andy!)
My postcard:
Dear Mrs. Dunham,
Thank you for the love that you gave your grandson. He's given it back to his country a thousand times over. Bless you and get well soon.
David Kroning from Ohio
