1. Oh! A part of my heart just broke off and dissipated.
I'm so sorry, Barack. I'm so so sorry for your loss.

2. That's beautiful. Thanks for posting.
Stunning that the Wall Street Journal would run such a sensitive picture.

5. I can't remember
ever seeing a photo of a president in tears.

I can't believe I just wrote that... well, I'm not going to change it.
