"We do not know how long we've got here," President Obama said. "We do not know when fate will intervene. We cannot discern God's plan. What we do know is that with every minute that we got, we can live our lives in a way that takes nothing for granted. We can love deeply. We can help people who need help. We can teach our children what matters. And pass on empathy and compassion and selflessness. We can teach them to have broad shoulders. To the Biden family, this sprawling intimate clan, I know that Beau's passing has left a gaping void in the world. ... I will tell you what, Michelle, and I, Sasha and Malia, we've become part of the Biden clan. We are honorary member now. And Biden family rule applies. We are always here for you. We always will be. My word as a Biden. To Joe and Jill, just like everybody else here, Michelle and I thanks God you are in our lives. Taking this ride with you is one of our great pleasures of our lives. Joe, you are my brother. I am grateful everyday that you've got such a big heart and a big soul and those broad shoulders. I could not admire you more."[/i

more from the president:

.....But Beau was a Biden. And he learned early the Biden family rule: If you have to ask for help, it’s too late. It meant you were never alone; you don’t even have to ask, because someone is always there for you when you need them.
