Bye Bye W.

I found this quote on our friend Millie's blog and I had to share it. It is so poignant and true and I cried while reading it, knowing that this chapter in our lives is truly over now.

"The White House, with all its pressures, intrigues, triumphs, betrayals, joys and disappointments, is the most special place you ever will work. Look out the gates at the people who slow their gait as they pass, trying to get a glimpse of someone -- anyone. They know what you're likely to forget. You're blessed…Leave no room for regrets -- for someday, in the not-so-distant future, you will be back where you started: On the sidewalk with the other folks, gawking at that grand, glorious, mysterious place -- where Lincoln walks at night, and our highest hopes and dreams reside.”
-Tony Snow, Former White House Press Secretary
