Mayor Emanuel tears up

For the second time this week, Bill Cameron says Mayor Emanuel teared-up in public this morning talking about a big rite of passage in his family.

This Labor Day weekend, the mayor and his wife Amy are taking their daughter to Princeton for her freshman year. So, they’re about to become empty-nesters and he talked about it at this year’s Safe Passage Rally ahead Chicago public schools opening next week.
“Amy and I set up this tradition with our first one, the little one’s gotta make dinner and we just have dinner with that child, just Amy and I. Unfortunately, she’s a vegan, so I had to eat vegatables all night. Ugh! But then you just talk about things as a parent. And you watch your little one, this kid that used to be on your chest is now on her way and become the young woman.”
