Our country is hurting and has been for a long time. A lot of people feel mad, left out, and misunderstood. I love so many things about Peter, and one of them is how naturally he made me feel the opposite: safe, appreciated, and a part of something bigger than myself. I wanted the country to feel that way, too. To look to Washington and take a deep breath, knowing that the president, the first gentleman, and an entire administration were there because they cared about the American people.
