I hope I never become ungrateful & forget those who helped me in life, even in the little ways. I hope not to see someone’s genuine effort as bare minimum & in all I hope never to forget God
He is 83 years old
A trailer crash in 1972 killed wife Neilia and daughter Naomi instantly. Sons barely survived
Considered suicide after the crash. But he chose life for his boys
Memorized entire textbooks to hide his reading/stutter struggles
Still recites Irish poetry from memory to conquer his old stutter
Weeded gardens and washed windows to pay prep school tuition
Never drank alcohol. He vowed to break the family addiction cycle
Failed Vietnam draft physical due to asthma
Got college probation for fire extinguisher prank on dorm director
He is the second Catholic US president ever
Blocked from high school student president over demerits, but still won class president
Still drives the 1967 Corvette his dad gave him as a wedding gift
After loosing his wife and daughter in 1972, Joe Biden's son, Beau, urged him to run for president in 2016, but the plans were stopped when Beau died from Brain cancer.
Joe Biden grieved his son with the words "My God, my beautiful boy"
Joe Biden would later go on to see the funerals of his wife, his daughter and his son

I never knew Joe Biden has faced this amount of life's storm.
The most painful thing is giving birth to children and burying the children with your own hands, closely followed by the death of a spouse.
Joe Biden struggled with speech and stammering. He was refused to be drafted because he had asthma.
He even survived 2 fatal brain conditions in 1988.
And still, with all these history, he came to lead an entire nation. And not just a nation, but a world power nation.
You might have your own reservations about Joe Biden and rightfully so.
But if you look beyond the president, and into him as an human.... Then you just might see an human with a lot of scars and painful past, while still trying to hold on to life and let out a smile when he can ❤️
My thought, prayers and best wishes are with Joe Biden and his entire family during this crucial period.
