First Lady Michelle Obama has responded to Beyonce‘s kind open letter of admiration, in which she called Mrs. O a “caring mother” and a “loving wife.”

In her hand written note, the singing icon wrote that she’s delighted that her 3-month-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter can “grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to.”

On Friday, the First Lady took to social networking site Twitter and tweeted, “Thank you for the beautiful letter and for being a role model who kids everywhere can look up to.” She signed off “-mo” which is used by her campaign to note that the tweet personally came from Mrs. O.

Beyonce has been friends with The First Family for some time now.

In 2009 at the now historical inauguration for President Obama, the “4” singer performed Etta James’s classic “At Last,” and in 2010 she performed at the White House State Dinner when the Obamas hosted Mexico president Felipe Calderon.

@Beyonce Thank you for the beautiful letter and for being a role model who kids everywhere can look up to. –mo
