Many were quick to notice Michelle Obama's absence on Inauguration Day, but the former first lady had a message to share on social media as questions over why didn't attend swirl.

The announcement did not give a reason for Obama’s absence. It comes after she missed Jimmy Carter’s state funeral—where she would have been seated next to Trump. CNN reported at the time that Obama had a scheduling conflict and was “still in Hawaii on an extended holiday vacation” when the funeral took place.
