In November 2021, Melissa went to Washington, D.C. with her friend Cindi. When walking through a market, they saw Kamala Harris. Melissa went up to her and said, "I'm sorry. May we get a picture with you?" Kamala said, "You know, women say "I'm sorry" way too often when it's not needed. Of course, I'll take a picture with you!" I was reminded of this encounter from Rick's former boss. I love the story! I miss my daughter! I love you, Mom! 😘
This was amazing! Kamala was ordering cheese 😂 There were secret service agents with her and I was way too nervous to get her attention, so Melissa did it ☺️ also Joe was under anesthesia that day, so Melissa did technically meet the first woman President already 🥰 🇺🇸 incredibly grateful this trip happened 💕💕
