Of all that I've done in my life, I'm most proud of being Malia and Sasha's dad." 

Michelle previously opened up about the feeling of her and Barack being empty-nesters to Ellen DeGeneres, and while she misses her children she said they're "doing well," and have also become, "just amazing young women".
