An inspired @POTUS giving one of his best ever sound bites when speaking about everything that makes us uncomfortable in today's world in Dublin. A call to action not heard from a US president in a while #BidenVisit

My heart is broken just hearing about the passing of Vicky Phelan .
Over the past year she gave me great support to keep fighting my terminal illness.
This whole country should be in mourning at the passing of this remarkable human being. My heart is broken. My hero is gone.
