Hopefully by this time, you've recovered from Michelle Obama's heart-tugging Democratic National Convention speech.

So, it's time to dry your eyes, look at your phone and realize that your mom texted you several times during it.

Your mom loved it, according to the texts. She listened to Michelle detail the experience of raising her daughters in the White House, of finding a way to try and inspire the country within Barack's administration and how to promote a strong, independent life within those circumstances.
