Jill Biden sent a thank you note to the nation on Thursday - the one year annivesary of Joe Biden's presidency and her tenure as first lady - as she continues her role as 'healer in chief.'
Biden, 70, offer of kind words and the public gesture has been emblematic of her time in the White House, from posting heart-shaped signs on the North Lawn on Valentine's Day to using her platform as first lady to visit those in need - whether they voted for her husband or not.

'To All Americans: Thank you. You continue to inspire us and we're working hard for you every day. XO, Jill,' she wrote in the note posted to her social media accounts on Thursday.
Written in her handwriting, it was dated January 20, 2021 and was on her monogrammed stationary.
'One year ago, we began a journey towards healing together. You continue to inspire us, and we're working hard for you every day,' she posted along side the picture of her note.

Biden, a teacher, has made education one of the main focuses of her first year in the White House. She's also revived Joining Forces, the program she founded as second lady with Michelle Obama to support military families and veterans.
In the coming year, Biden looks to be even more active on the political stage as Democrats fight to keep control of Congress in the midterm elections.
It's a marked contrast to her predecessors - neither Melania Trump nor Michelle Obama liked to campaign and it was rare to see them at political events.
She has expanded her communications team, bringing aboard Kelsey Donohue, who worked as an assistant press secretary for first lady Michelle Obama, Axios reported, to
