Showing Original Post only (View all)A casual, candid chat with the Bidens on their morning walk is moving people to tears [View all]
https://www.upworthy.com/biden-valentines-day-walk

This morning, Joe and Jill Biden went out for a walk with their dogs, Champ and Major, to check out the surprise the first lady had installed overnight for Valentine's Day weekend. The White House lawn has been decorated with oversized hearts that have positive words like LOVE, GRATITUDE, COMPASSION, and FAMILY on them. The one that says HEALING is signed "Love, Jill."
As they walked along with coffee cups in hand, the first couple was met by a few members of the press. The conversation that they had has gone viralnot so much because of how extraordinary it was, but rather the opposite. It was delightfully ordinary, filled with normalcy, decency, and even a random act of kindness for good measure. And the simple goodness of it all is moving people to tears.

To be brutally honest, the Bidens are full of more love and compassion than I would have expected...

It brought tears to my eyes. It was just so heartfelt, sincere, and caring.
