After realizing that President Obama's last few days in the Oval Office were quickly approaching, one adorable 6-year-old girl could not hold back the tears, and we feel her pain! Last week, Amber was watching our beloved POTUS deliver his farewell address [1], when her mom Linzy captured her emotional reaction on camera; and it's something we can all relate to.
As Obama's speech went on, Amber couldn't control her tears and her mom asked her why she was so upset [2]. "He's leaving," Amber responded. "Because he's never gonna be the president no more."
Although she is only 6 years old, Amber's love for President Obama is truly touching, and her understanding of his role in our country is impressive. During a time when our kids are so malleable, it's important to talk to them about the state of our country.
"It's really her first view of a president but I do read her all the books of the United States presidents so she's very familiar," Linzy wrote online [3]. "She loves President Obama and just speaking of him makes her eyes water up."
In an attempt to make Amber feel better, Linzy suggested they watch Michelle Obama [4]'s last speech as well. "Later on we'll watch the Michelle speech that she gave to everybody, OK?" Linzy says. "That one's a really good one, her final goodbye speech."
Watch the adorable video, and then, see how the Obamas taught our country what family values really mean [5].
