A Tribute To George & Laura Bush's Love

Keep in mind I didn't write this. This is from an e-mail I received, and I thought it showed a side to the former President that most people don't know. Enjoy:

A loving tribute to George and Laura Bush on their 31st Anniversary! November 5, 2008.

Who could have predicted that when Joe and Jan O'Neill invited their two single friends, George Walker Bush and Laura Lane Welch to a backyard barbecue, in the summer of 1977, their efforts at matchmaking would end up making history? Who would have known the couple would not only be attracted to each other, but that sparks would fly and ignite so quickly into flames, that they would marry in a mere three months? And who could ever have imagined that eventually God would lead this same young couple to become the President and First Lady of the greatest country on earth.

George W. Was admittedly "smitten" by the lovely young Laura. He said that She was "gorgeous, good-humored, quick to laugh, down-to-earth, and very Smart." Laura thought that young George was "kind of cute, and funny" and liked how he made her laugh. Though they were opposites in personality--he outgoing and sometimes outrageous, athletic and from a boisterous, energetic family, and she a calm, quiet and thoughtful reader, and beloved only child--they found they shared the same beliefs and values--"West Texas" values of an individual's sort and of personal responsibility. They Discovered they had common interests--they both loved to read and spend time with friends. They fell so quickly in love that they married on November 5, 1977. According...

Belated congratulations to President Bush and the lovely Laura! :-)

This sentence was interesting: After years of trying to have the family they so desired, the Bush's became proud parents in November 1981, of lovely twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, both named after their Grandmothers.

Did they go through IVF way back then? As someone who needed fertility treatment to achieve motherhood, I also tried for years before undergoing IVF procedures (several times)--and this statement definitely sounded like they had help too. So glad that God blessed them with their twins either way! (Just like He blessed my husband and me with our precious little ones!) :*)

I believe I know the woman who put the original of this together. I’m going to send her a link to this thread.

The Bushes are so beloved by so many. It just turns my stomach they way they’ve been treated.

George and Laura made Texas proud. They are generous, moral, loyal, and honest. Truly good people. We all make mistakes; and we all vary on our social conscience, and in trusting others.

Motives count. What is intended for good ... counts. MO

Not to the left, unless they are caught doing something unethical.

Right you are.

I was thinking morally ... character. It demonstrates character or the lack of it.

Yes - “ She took clomiphene citrate, which induces ovulation. After a few months the treatment wasn’t working, so she was given a shot of gonadotropin to adjust her hormones, which worked right away. “

God Bless the Bush family, all of them. I may see George HW and Barbara when I run errands later today. I would love to run into the 4 of them someday.

Cheers for the Bush family.
