[Jackeens]

In this Jan. 5, 1973, file photo, four-year-old Beau Biden, foreground, watches his dad, Joe Biden, center, being sworn in as the U.S. senator from Delaware, by Senate Secretary Frank Valeo, left, in ceremonies in a Wilmington hospital. Beau was injured in an accident that killed his mother and sister in December. Mrs. Biden's father, Robert Hunter, holds the bible




Joe Biden (L) is sworn in as the Vice President of the U.S by Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens (not in photo) as the Biden children Beau (R), Hunter (C), and Ashley watch in Washington, January 20, 2009.

..... may God keep Beau and all of our troops safe.

3. Jackeens, I have to add more

From a very touching moment at the Democratic National Convention when Beau introduced his dad ~




"I know my father will be a great vice president. As I mentioned, my dad has always been there for me, my brother and my sister, everyday. But because of other duties, it won’t be possible for me to be here this fall to stand by him the way he stood by me. So I have something to ask of you. Be there for my dad like he was for me.
Be there for Barack Obama because our country needs him. Be there for both of them because millions of families need to know that their best days aren’t behind them, but ahead of them. Be there for both of them because millions of people are trying to overcome, just like my dad overcame. Be there—be there because Barack Obama and Joe Biden will deliver America the change we so desperately need."

4. A journey, in these two photos, that demonstrates

the strength shown in adversity will carry you through the low points in life to times when you can celebrate that steadfastness.

How poignant..thanks, Jackeens.

They are a great family.

9. I'd totally mack them both. But aren't they married?! ~sigh~

It's a sin to think of them in such a way and will now have to do penance. Crap!
