She got her wish when the president responded on Facebook, telling her to "dry her tears." Her family visited the White House recently in a moment captured on video and posted on Facebook.

"Hey you! We invited you so you'd know it'd be okay!" Obama exclaims as he hugged Kameria, in a video that can be viewed partially here.

Then he posed with the family for pictures. "Alright, everybody look up and say cheese!" he said.
