What a Ride

The former First Lady, Barbara Bush, is expected to leave ICU today after heart surgery. I watched her husband, the former President, George Herbert Walker Bush, speak about her recovery and burst into tears. I teared up myself. I am sure that these two people, all of 19 and 20 on their wedding day, had no idea what their futures held, but even without the public adventures they shared (and the future president was already a World War II hero in this picture), the fact that they are still married and devoted to each other is a testament to all married couples today.

Best wishes, Mrs. Bush.
