Vice President Joe Biden’s mother passed away today. In reading the story at abcnews, I came across the following quote:
“My mom taught her children, all the children who flocked to our house, that you’re defined by your sense of honor and you’re redeemed by your loyalty,” he said. “Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.”
The story made me cry. I remember seeing his tiny little mother on stage on Election Night and I knew she was so proud of her son. I only wish Obama’s grandmother would have seen him too. Either ways, I believe in many ways, a man’s relationship with his mother showcases his true character (aside from if the mother is completely-off-her-rocker). Mrs. Biden taught her children well.
I’ll end this with my two favorite Joe Biden videos.
God speed, madam. God speed.
