America Unites to Support Former First Lady Barbara Bush
In today’s tumultuous political climate, it may sometimes seem as if there are few things that unite us as a country.
Earlier today, however, partisan divisions fell by the wayside after the office of George H.W. Bush released a statement that former First Lady Barbara Bush’s health is failing and that she will not seek further treatment.
In response, there was an outpouring of support for the former First Lady from both sides of the aisle:
As always, Barbara Bush is a comfort to her friends & family teaching us all how to live full of faith, love & humor. Praying that she is comfortable & send love to President Bush & their family. https://t.co/Y02uohVFyD

As a Democrat, a former Obama Appointee, and American, this breaks my heart. First Lady Barbara Bush is the definition of class. I hope she feels all the love she deserves in these tender moments with her family. America loves you, Madame First Lady.

I’ve known #BarbaraBush for 30 years. She is as proud, tough, protective of her family and patient as you would expect a wife and mother of presidents to be. She helped both in sensible, family-centric ways; in that sense is as much a patriotic, civic-minded leader as they are.

In a time where political polarization appears to be the norm, and it’s hard to find bipartisan agreement for much of anything, it was encouraging to see politicians, activists, and journalists; Democrats and Republicans; and liberals and conservatives all come together to recognize Barbara Bush’s incredible legacy.
It speaks volumes about the kind of person Barbara Bush is.
Bush, 92, recently downplayed her medical situation to Smith College while affirming her love for her husband, who she married in 1945.
“I have had great medical care and more operations than you would believe. I’m not sure God will recognize me; I have so many new body parts!” Bush told Smith Alumnae Quarterly for its spring 2018 issue, published last month. She also wrote, “I am still old and still in love with the man I married 72 years ago.”
Here’s to hoping and praying for the best for Barbara Bush and the entire Bush family.
