"I had this impulse to hug him, so I did. And I cried. I think I even got tears on the VP's jacket!"

4. That's a wonderfully sweet story from Kobe Groce, she!

What a beautiful, thoughtful young man!

"The Vice President approached me and I was introduced to him as a ‘special guest.’ I was overwhelmed with different emotions. I had this impulse to hug him, so I did. And I cried. I think I even got tears on the Vice President's suit jacket! I met someone who has done so much for my family without even knowing us, and that was an incredible, overwhelming feeling. I felt like he really heard me, like he knew who I was. I am hugging the man who will help me and help our President move forward."
