Hillary Clinton publicly reappears after her defeat: "Being here tonight is not easy for me"

Although a few days ago the media published one of the first images of Hillary Clinton after having given the candidacy to Donald Trump - image that was taken by a woman who lives in the same city that the Clintons - yesterday the democratic candidate made its first public appearance . According to members of her team, Hillary's participation in the Children's Defense Fund ceremony had already been set for months, and it was there that Bill Clinton's wife confessed that "being here tonight is not easy" for her.

In good spirits, Clinton joked with the audience: "This past week I wanted to stay home to read a good book, to live with my dogs, and never to leave the house again." Hillary has been working for decades for the non-governmental organization, which is dedicated to supporting children, and curiously told that this event was the first event in which she participated after her husband, Bill, was named president of the United States in The ninety

Dorothy Rodham, the late mother of Hillary, was abandoned when she was still a teenager and, along with her sister, was sent to live with her grandparents in California. But Dorothy's grandparents were abusive to them, so Dorothy returned to Chicago, where she established her life, and years later met Hugh Ellsworth Rodham, Hillary's father.

The Democratic candidate shocked the public by saying that she would like to speak to her deceased mother on the day she was sent to California by train: "I dream of approaching my mother, sitting next to her, embracing her and saying 'Look at me, look at me and pay attention : You will survive. You will have a family of your own with three children. And as incredible as it may seem, your daughter will grow up to become a United States senator, represent our country as Secretary of State, and win more than 62 million votes as President of the United States. "

In the face of all odds, Clinton was very optimistic: "We have a lot of work to do, and for the sake of our children and our families, I ask you to remain vigilant, aware at all levels. We need you. America needs you, you need your energy, your ambition, your talent. So we're going to get over this. "
