These are the Palestinian “prisoners” being exchanged for Israeli hostages. They are also children. Children who were stolen from their homes. Children who just want to hug their mothers. These are the boys who the media won’t even afford the dignity of being called children.
This picture should be on the front page of every newspaper in the world but it won’t be so let’s do it from here.
This is a father being reunited with his wife & 2 daughters after their 49 days in terrorist #Hamas captivity
“This is my friend's 17 year old nephew, Tanner. Yesterday he was enjoying a day at Scissortail Park with his mother and younger siblings when he noticed a person struggling in the pond. Tanner's mom said he did a quick double take then without a word he was running toward the water. She had no idea what was happening but Tanner knew someone needed him. His instincts took over and this guy saved a drowning 2 year old!!! He suffered a head injury in the process and had to have staples. Police, fire and medics responded and the child's mother cried uncontrollably with gratitude. Tanner is humble, compassionate and really does not understand how much heartbreak his actions have saved a family.”

"Former President Carter and wife Mrs. Rosalynn Carter quickly kissed on a Habitat for Humanity build site when they thought no one noticed ..."
Married for 77 years.
May they be surrounded by love at this time.
Two boys show each other different skills, Kenya, 1962.
9-year-old Kevin from New York had come to Kenya to join his stepfather as guest of a Maasai tribe, where he and the chief’s son Dionni became close companions. Kevin wrote in his diary:
“The Maasai taught me lots of things. They are very nice people and we had no problems understanding each other. They taught me to shoot the heaviest bow I have ever seen and I taught Dionni how to play baseball and write his name. He doesn’t speak any English and I learned 11 words in Swahili.”
On Obamas birthday, remember that in 2014 he went to a local restaurant in Denver Colorado, to speak to local residents that had written letters to him.
One women, Alex, who worked at a furniture store, wrote Obama after his state of the union. She let him know that she was struggling financially but appreciated Obamas work. He read the letter and was touched, so he wanted to meet her.
“We’re going to have some pizza and talk,” he said, as he sat at the table.
He then spoke to Alex and multiple others about issues ranging from raising minimum wage to college fees and affordability.
After that, to the dismay of the secret service, he broke from the schedule and simply walked down the street, shaking hands and meeting people.
This was a man of the people. A real American. He cared.
Happy birthday, Mr. President.
