George to George: 'I love you, too'


41st U. S. President   (Public Domain)
If all that’s left in the end is love, then love is all you really need.

When his beloved dad was nearing death, George W. Bush made one last phone call.  He told Bush, Sr. what a “wonderful dad he had been and that he loved him.”  The dying patriarch responded, “I love you, too.”  These would be George H. W. Bush’s final words.

After his wife Barbara’s death, Bush was not quite ready to leave this world.  He wanted to spend one last cherished summer at home in Kennebunkport, Maine.  Upon returning to
Houston in the fall, “things sort of went downhill from there.”

Bush was now ready.  His passing was reportedly as kind and gentle as could be.
