Let this sink in: there are less than 100 days until the Obamas leave the White House.
Until that happens, we are reminiscing on all the good times we’ve had.
To further put us in our feelings, our Aunt Michelle covered The New York Times Style Magazine, completely slaying our entire existence.

We may never see a woman as educated and classy, and well rounded as Michelle Obama in the White House, again.

For Michelle’s cover issue, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jon Meacham, Gloria Steinem and Rashida Jones wrote “Love Letters” to Mrs. Obama.
Part of Adichie’s note reads, “I felt protective of her because she was speaking to an America often too quick to read a black woman’s confidence as arrogance, her straightforwardness as entitlement.”
Steinem wrote, “After a decade under a public microscope, she has managed what no other first lady — and few people in any public position — have succeeded in doing: She has lived a public life without sacrificing her privacy and authenticity. She made her husband both more human and effective as a president by being his interpreter and defender, but also someone we knew was capable of being his critic. Eventually, she spoke up about the pain of the racist assumptions directed at her, but she waited until her husband could no longer be politically punished for her honesty.”
