O.k everybody Josie and I have just this minute arrived back in Hamburg. We had a LONG exciting 2 days in Berlin. The event was massive wit over 200, 000 people there. All of good spirit and really looking forward to hearing Barack speak.

Josie looked beautiful and was a true trooper the whole day. Never complained always tried to make others smile and of course was full of excitement to see Senator Obama speak and possibly meet him.

I can now tell you that we were told that HQ was very aware of Josie and had received thousands of mails on her behalf. We were also told to try and get to one of the Official Campaign staffers once there and let them know who we were.

Unfortunately this was not to be the case. We were unable to have this happen. But I can tell you that both Josie and I were not one bit disturbed by this, and none of you should be either.

Yes Josie would have loved to be able to present her gifts to him for Malia and Sasha and sure she is sad about not being able to do this; but she is far more happy that she was able to be there, hear him speak and to know that so many people believe in him. Black, White, Brown, Red and Yellow.

Josie asked me at one point “Papa are all of these people here because they are for Obama? When I told her yes she said “But they are from everywhere ….. That’s cool!!!”

I have not yet showed her the page documenting all of your wonderful support. I will do this when she returns. She is now with her mother on her way to vacation by the sea.

I wanted, however, to now take the time though to bring you all up to date and once again thank you for all you have done for Josie. You all should never doubt the difference you have made and the difference you will still make once I show Josie how many angles flew to her side to try and make her wish come true. It is because of all of You that her small voice was heard from Germany all the way to Chicago and Washington. . I will never forget you for it. You are all now officially members of our family.

Josie and Reggie

Here are some pictures I thought you all might enjoy. In the first she is waving her gift for Sasha ..... it's a stuffed dog!! Thanks Lace for the others. ;-)
