It is time for me to share a very personal moment and it is about VP @JoeBiden. In the weeks following Jaime's murder, I cannot think of a person who did more to help me heal. It started with a phone call in the week immediately following her murder.
It was not a fast call. He allowed me to stay on for as long as needed and it went for almost an hour. I remember that he was on a train traveling. He then was in Florida 3 weeks later and he invited me and another parent to meet with him. Again, I was thinking a hand shake.
He had a group waiting to hear him speak. Instead, he met with us for about 45 minutes and he made us feel as if nothing else mattered. He spoke to us about getting through loss, he spoke about how we all grieve differently, he spoke to us about mission and purpose.
He also put his hand on my shoulders. For me, it was a highly comforting and healing moment. I will never forget that moment or our time together and I am forever thankful for having met him.
I do not know if VP @JoeBiden will run for President. What I do know is that after meeting with him, I can honestly say that I do consider him to have been one of the most decent and genuine people that I ever met and I am in a better place today because of him.
