I read Dreams from My Father just a couple months before I would find myself counting my laundry change so I could buy some groceries, because, thanks to the recession, the jobs weren't coming in.
I remember reading about a future president arriving for school on the Upper West Side of NYC and sleeping in an alley when his new landlord didn't meet him to give him the keys to his apartment. I remember thinking that the only time his predecessor would have done that would probably have involved blacking out from drinking.
I remember identifying with that writer, because even if the details were different, he knew what it was like to be on an uncertain journey.
Well, lucky for us, his incredible journey brought him to the presidency.
Essential blessing when the sun was being spun all those laps ago in '61, our most highly presiding servant of we, the people, commenced his journey with humanity dancing awesome peace, so he could love his life, love his wife, love his children and bring as many of us with him as any one man can
