Dear Mr. President,

As you leave office, I must say this:

Thank you...

For helping me believe progress is possible.

For helping our children understand their potential.

For asserting that health care is a right, not a privilege.

For relationship goals.

For your sense of humor.

For being the kind of father daughters need.

For being the kind of leader the world respects.

For eight years of leading us with dignity, integrity, and intelligence to a point in history where a record number of Americans have jobs, health insurance, and a sense of inclusion in the promise of the American dream.

President Obama, I am one of countless Americans who feels blessed to have lived during your tenure. Thank you for keeping us safe and moving us forward.

As you leave office, may you feel our gratitude for your service.

God bless us all.
