I watched this scene unfold on CNN last night. [View all]

This tiny little girl left her moms side after a brief discussion who gave her a push. She kind of sauntered over not looking, yet looking at Obama. She moved toward him, veered off then went back. She so wanted to meet him. As always he greeted her with love and respect dropping a bit to get down to her size.

In another time? He would have given her a hug. In another time. In another time *sigh* We lost that, we are losing the human touch and that is a painful thing for all of us. However sans his beautiful healing smile that is behind a mask, his eyes and words give love and comfort.

This was the sweetest thing I have seen all week.

Love and hugs DU. We can get through this with a little love in our hearts.

I am no Susie sunshine. I am terrified. I just wanted to drop a little light in your night.
