Comments on: George and Laura Bush… https://thenewneo.com/2013/04/15/george-and-laura-bush/ A blog about political change, among other things Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:58:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: model_1066 https://thenewneo.com/2013/04/15/george-and-laura-bush/#comment-577426 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:58:45 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=26810#comment-577426 I guess people who have been together for as long as W and Laura have do start to look similar…that’s noticeable in this photo, and I love W’s “Carhartt” jacket. I used to have one like it.

And many W critics have the brains of walnuts. They mainly hate him because it’s fashionable, not because of any true transgressions (a la Nixon). If you were to describe NCLB and the reasons we went to Iraq and inferred that this is what OBAMA had done, these twits would say these were great things.

W. was a great leader and most of all, a kind and humble human being. You don’t have to agree with *anything* he did as president, but have the decency to congratulate him on his personal life (ie becoming a grampa) or shut the hell up.

This s*** is why I claim Independent rather than Liberal. We have become dangerously nasty.

May your granddaughter fighting against leukemia have a full recovery. Medicine does wonders these days and miracles do happen.

Sixteen years ago our twin grandchildren were born at 7months. Watching them overcome serious early struggles to develop into accomplished athletes and all around good folks has been a highlight of our lives. Now, their 21 year old sister has been fighting leukemia for the past 10 months (the girl twin donated bone marrow). Although her travails are wrenching for the family, it has been wonderful to watch this child grow into a courageous and upbeat young woman, who faces her future undaunted. The blessing of grandchildren goes far beyond the ability to enjoy the good times, and step back from the burden at other times. They provide wonderful perspective for the years when we are in a reflective mode. They also validate our existence.

I know this newest member of the Bush family will be treasured by multiple generations.

Grandchildren are a blessing. You get to love them, delight in their progress as they grow, and then give them back to the parents. 😉 Our newest grandchild began to crawl 2 weeks ago. Soon she’ll be standing, then walking, and then getting into everything.
