00:00Joe and I have been together for almost 50 years and still there are moments
00:11when I fall in love with him all over again like when I handed him our baby
00:21Ashley for the first time and saw the smile that lit up his face or on nights
00:28after an exhausting day in working in the Senate when he would read one more
00:34bedtime story just because the kids asked when he stops on a rope line
00:42because he sees someone grieving who needs to know that everything is going
00:48to be all right one day or to encourage that child with a stutter to find the
00:56confidence she needs those moments when I'm reminded of all he's accomplished in
01:05the name of something bigger than himself receiving the Medal of Freedom
01:11with humility
01:21placing his hand on our family Bible to take his oath of office
01:32and weeks ago when I saw him dig deep into his soul and decide to no longer
01:40seek re-election and endorse Kamala Harris
01:55faith and conviction Joe Biden is the OG girl dad
02:06he told me I could be anything and I could do anything as a child I would sit
02:13on the leather chair in his office doing my homework and he would sit next to me
02:17doing his work drafting the violence against women act
02:30and he wasn't just a girl dad I could see and he wasn't just a girl dad I
02:37could see that he valued and trusted women
02:43how he listened to his mother how he believed in his sister and most of all
02:50how he respected my mother's career
