00:00Barak, there are no words to express how proud I am of the way you showed up and continue to
00:08show up every single day.
00:11It has been an honor to be by your side.
00:15You have made me a better person and have given us all an example that we should strive to emulate.
00:23And I hope you know, oh, there is truly no higher calling than that.
00:30Barak, you gotta look at me.
00:36You told me all those years ago that you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an
00:43interesting life.
00:45And of course you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
00:51I know it hasn't always been easy, but there hasn't been a single second through this experience.
00:59That standing by your side hasn't left me in awe.
01:02You were unflappable at every turn, always focused, always calm, always looking at the long view.
01:16How absurd it is to even imagine that you might have buckled under the pressure even once, lashed out in
01:26frustration, lost your temper.
01:33How absurd it is to imagine that you might have done anything but make our family and this entire country
01:40proud.
01:46And you did it all with such grace and class and cool that you made the hardest job in the
01:56world look like a walk in this beautiful park.
02:00Your mother, Toot Gramps, you are a tribute to their love.
02:07They are up there grinning and hugging today because you never forgot who you are and where you came from.
02:15You never changed from that idealistic summer associate who showed up on that rainy day when we first met without
02:24an umbrella.
02:28You always gave us the very best within you and in doing so you reminded the rest of us that
02:36we could too.
02:38Have a great day.
02:39Have a great day.
