Jenna Bush

What a beautiful tribute Jenna Bush Hager has written. To those who think badly of the Bush family, I have two things to say.

1.) Look at who we have in the White House now.....the George Bush's are golden in comparison ;)
2.) The Bush family is close knit and loving, open to ideas and those who are different than they are. They have marriages to be emulated. Sibling relationships to admire.

I loved seeing the relationship that Jenna had with her Gammy and Gampy. I don't have that relationship with my grandparents. I wish I did. But my parents will be that for my future kids. I want to teach my children about the Bush family and all their positive character traits, their life mottos. I actually got teary-eyed while reading this book.

Written in the midst of her grief, Jenna is authentic, real, honest and witty. I have enjoyed seeing her come into a newscaster and writer!… (mer)

Say what you will about politics---it's hard to find issue with Jenna and Barbara Bush. I felt like they were the coolest first daughters in 2000. And I find the family fascinating. Their grandmother reminds me of my great-grandmother. There is so much wisdom to be found in their Gampy's words.

I loved getting an insight into the Bush family. But I learned so much about their heart for African women.....or Jenna's start at the Today show......or the family summers in Maine. It was a nice read.… (mer)
