7. I thought I'd run out of tears a long time ago, but

it seems I have some left and praise be they're ones of joy.

This is a good day.

by the tremendous outpouring of goodwill and love?
For me, it's about people.

11. Same here.

On Sunday I went to the concert on the Mall with my daughter.
I was moved to tears so many times during the whole thing - and I am not a crier.

There was an overwhelming feeling of joy everywhere - people of all ages and races
smiling into one another's faces and dancing. Incredible. And I'm so glad I was
there. It was one of the best days of my life.
