48. This broke my heart with its beauty and honesty.

This was a a glimpse of two people being there for each other in a raw moment of loss, heartache and support. If that isn't what brotherhood and sisterhood are about, I don't know what is.

I've dealt with my share of personal loss, but what Joe Biden has had to endure over his lifetime no person should ever have to experience. I'm glad he has true friends who care, and are there for him.
