I'm pretty raw right now, but damn. You don't even realize how much you have been traumatized by this monstrous administration until you feel the real humanity of how Joe interacts with people and children.

Notice Joe didn't flinch or react when the lady called him the next President. He put himself with and under Obama. He's decent and we've been missing that.

Joe has brought me to tears and now more than ever. A genuinely good, decent person. We are lucky to have him.

An unusual event there. There was a huge memorial service. Vice President Biden spoke and sat with the family. It was when Beau was serving in Iraq. The deceased policeman’s little girl asked about the lapel pin Joe was wearing to indicate his son was serving overseas. He immediately gave her the pin. You could see it meant a lot to that family.

That mother is just beside herself, a beautiful reaction. I hope the little boy saves that and some day realizes what that means (I think he's bit young to understand)
