I hope it brought a measure of comfort to the Bidens. It was given purely, with that in mind.

This has been a tearful day for me, but his words were uplifting. I hope the Biden family was comforted by the beautiful eulogy our great POTUS delivered. The hugs at the end couldn't have been more loving and heartfelt for Joe and Hallie. Such a wonderful man we have to lead us.

Too bad half the country has been so brainwashed to see it.

RIP, Beau!

This family of deep faith seems to rise above the tragedies and continue on. I hope that continues. It's so very admirable. And Obama must be feeling pretty horrible about this for his friend and adopted family.

Beautifully handled, as usual.

Journaling both. Thanks for posting this.

You can tell that Barack and Joe have a strong bond. You can tell they are family. And my dad died at the same age as Beau from a different type of cancer so I get what they are going through.
