On Thursday while touring the damage of Staten Island, President Barack Obama met with Damien and Glenda Moore, whose 2- and 4-year-old boys died after being ripped from their mother's arms during Hurricane Sandy.
While the meeting took place behind closed doors, the White House released a picture on its official Flickr photo stream.
In remarks later on Cedar Grove Avenue, President Obama gave more details about the meeting.
"I had the opportunity to give some hugs and communicate thoughts and prayers to the Moore family," he said. "I expressed to them--as a father, as a parent--my heartbreak over what they went through.
"They're still obviously a little shell-shocked, but they came here in part because they wanted to say thank you to all the people who have been supportive of them," the President said.
