When I taught English here of Brandywine High School, I would spend my summer preparing for the school year, about to start filled with anticipation.

But this quiet is heavy.

Like so many of you, I'm left asking.

How do I keep my family safe?

You know, motherhood came to me in a way I never expected.

I fell in love with a man and two little boys standing in the wreckage of Unthinkable Loss.

Morning, a wife and mother, a daughter and sister.

We found that love holds a family together.

Love makes us flexible and resilient.

It allows us to become more than ourselves together.

How do you make a broken family hole The same way you make a nation hole with love and understanding and with small acts of kindness, with bravery, with unwavering faith, we have shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage.

That's the soul of America.

Joe Biden is fighting for now.

After our son Beau died of cancer, I wondered if I would ever smile or feel joy again.

It was summer, but there was no warmth left for me.

Four days after Bos funeral.

I watched Joe shave and put on his suit.

I saw him steal himself in the mirror, take a breath, put his shoulders back and walk out into a world empty of our son.

He went back to work.

That's just who he is.

Across this country, educators, parents, first responders, Americans of all walks of life are putting their shoulders back fighting for each other.

We haven't given up.

We just need leadership worthy of our nation worthy of you.

Honest leadership to bring us back together, to recover from this pandemic and prepare for whatever else is next leadership to reimagine what our nation will be.

That's Joe.

The burdens we carry our heavy.

And we need someone with strong shoulders.

I know that if we entrust this nation to Joe, he will do for your family what he did for ours.

Bring us together and make us hold.

Carry us forward in our time of need.

Keep the promise of America for all of us.

Oh, great.

Uh huh.
