“Mr. Speaker, today, I celebrate the birth of my twin daughters, Sky and Sage as they turn 2 years old. Happy birthday, Sky; happy birthday, Sage. You both have made your mom, Monica, and me very, very happy. Because of you both, I am the happiest man on Earth. We love you very much, and I miss you very much when I am here in the people's House and you are in California in our family's house. The best feelings in the world are when I get home after a long week here and you two girls run up to me with open arms and you run into my arms screaming: Daddy, daddy, daddy. I will never forget those moments ever, and I thank you for them. Mr. Speaker, my daughters mean the world to me, and my daughters' future and their health mean the world to me. And now, more than ever, I want to protect health care for Sky and Sage and for the millions of Americans across our great Nation.
