Obama's heart warming letter to his daughters

The Star Telegram had recently published a copy of the letter President Barack Obama wrote to his daughters, titled 'What I want for you and every child'. It appeared in the Parade section on January 18, 2009.

This letter reminded me of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's letters to his daughter Indira Gandhi. Nehru was a freedom fighter and was in jail for opposing the oppressive British Raj. Those letters impressed and molded the future of young Indira Gandhi so much that she grew up to become the first woman Prime Minister of India.

I hope Sasha and Malia take a leaf out of Indira Gandhi's life and attain similar everlasting glory!
