Monday, May 28, 2012 at 7:44AM My maternal grandmother was a Gold Star Mother. My grandparents lost two sons, six months apart, in WWII. Losing two sons, my mom's brothers, to war is devastating for a family. My thoughts and prayers are with all military families today.

When a Boy Found a Familiar Feel in a Pat of the Head of State - NYT

This photo and the accompanying story ran in yesterday's NYTimes. I found the photo so powerful. The boy wanted to know if the President's hair felt the same as his own. The President bowed down and told the boy to see for himself. This gesture says so much about the man. I love it.
