Thank you globalcitizenlinda

PS Jake Tapper: “President Obama is not particularly known for effusive emotion, but one cannot help but think he too will have moments of sadness when this close and devoted aide, who has dedicated so much of his life to him, does not come in to work.”

Jake? (Or ‘Twat’, as I fondly call him):

Sorry, just got a little mad there.

Collegekay: “When I met him last Feb., 2010, I was holding to his hand not letting go — SS told me to let go (but he was still holding to me. I was melting)”
