Here come those tears of joy. Awesome President, awesome family. I lost my mom 12 years ago and will never stop missing her. She was strong in her faith to the very last breath she took at the age of 96. Wish she could have lived to appreciate and celebrate our President. These days, I'm glad she had me.

Hugs and blessings.

I thought my family had longevity. Your mom 96. Bless her sweet soul. I hope mothers day went smoothly for you despite your loss.

Fathers day will be tough for us, it was recent. My dad and my brother an law, in less than two weeks a few months ago. We were all at their bedsides the night before they passed. It is never easy.

Love and hugs to you, I always enjoy talking to you.

I probably would have been speechless. What a cool thing he did.

I know it's from a PBS file, and I know it's the Weeks Bridge over the Charles river that connects Boston to Harvard & MIT - but can't find its original source.

Probably touring college campuses - but that's just a guess.
