I remember vines, some were funny. I thought everyone moved on after the site died. Sadly, its a bit like cooking. I like cooking but I much prefer eating

You have given a gift today. It will remind us of what is possible and even in grief to believe, "yes, we can" because John Lewis has graced our country with this life.

Thank you for posting this. I read the transcript but am so glad I saw the speech. Of course, I should’ve known that a couple of tissues would be in order.
