Former US President Barack Obama uploaded a heart-warming video to celebrate his wife, Michelle as she completes her tour in promotion of her bestselling memoir, Becoming.
The former president had earlier shared a message in honour of Mother’s Day in which he calls her the “perfect role model not just for our daughters, but for so many others.”
But he quickly followed up on that message, with a video to specifically tell her (again) how much he loves her and is proud of her.
“I just surprised @MichelleObama with this video message at the final event of her book tour. Happy Mother’s Day to the love of my life,” Obama captions the video, which he shared on Instagram.

Video transcript:
“I just want to make sure on Mother’s Day, you know how much I love you.
“I could not be a luckier man to be married to you. Our girls could not have a better mom and they couldn’t have asked for a better example every single day. And, you, know, when I decided to ask you to marry me I wasn’t sure you’d say yes, but I also didn’t know where we’d be going in our lives, I just knew I wanted to go there with you.
“And now I’ve just had a chance to see how extraordinary your journey has been, as a mom and as a professional, as a first lady, you’ve written this extraordinary book, you’re filling up these arenas, but most importantly you have shown yourself through honesty and fearlessness and insight to be a great advocate for people who needed advocacy, help inspire people to find their own voices. So, I’m pretty proud of you, girl.
