A 104-year-old woman in Virginia recently told the entire world via YouTube that she only has one item remaining on her bucket list before she leaves this world: Meeting President Obama.
The woman, known only as Ms. Daniels, had a friend, Maxine Hankins Cain, post the video, and Cain says that Ms. Daniels was a friend of her mother. The two women worked in the nursing field, and Cain also recalls:
“She also babysat my youngest sister and fed her peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches. My sister is now 61. Ms. Danielle at lunch today said she still eats peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches!”
Cain also reports that Ms. Daniels lives by herself and is able to care for herself at the age of 104.
Can you even guess who was President when Ms. Daniels was born? William Howard Taft! How long has it been since you heard his name?
On her Facebook wall, Cain posted this message, and it should motivate all of us to do what we can to make this special lady’s dream come true:
“Our 104 year old friend wants to meet President Obama!! Who can make this happen! She has something to say to him!”
Something tells me we’ll be seeing this wonderful woman on the news very soon, meeting President Obama and even getting a tour of the White House.
Ms. Daniels, you are an inspiration to all of us and we love you!
