Ashley, Natalie, Maisy, Finnegan and Naomi Biden shared stories of the new president this week on Today
people.com
...this is not the voice of an abused woman. It's some sick sh$t to believe in conspiracy theories that have no merit and belittles actual victims.
Ashey, 39, also touched on the tragedies that have marked the lives of the Bidens, noting that her father had been changed by loss. His first wife, Neilia, and their 13-month-old daughter, Naomi,
were killed in a 1972 Christmastime car crash and his son
Beau died of cancer in 2015.
"Dad is so empathetic and has the ability to recognize pain, to feel others' pain and to comfort," Ashley said on
Today. "We have a rule still today that no matter where dad is, no matter what meeting he's in, if one of the kids call, you have to let him know."
Ashley added then that "Beauie," as the family affectionately calls him, would be at the inauguration in spirit.
"I know Beauie will be there with us," she said. "It's going to be a really beautiful, special moment, not only for our family but for the country."
