43 visits 41 in the hospital

...and now this, in current events ...

George H.W. Bush gets hospital visit from son: 'Big morale boost'

Posted by Eun Kyung Kim on April 21


Former President George H.W. Bush received a special hospital visit from a familiar face, his son, who gave a promising update about his dad.
"Pleased to report that 41 is joyful, strong, and ready to come home soon," former President George W. Bush wrote in an Instagram post of their bonding session.
Bush's father has been recovering at a hospital since last Friday, when he was admitted for pneumonia.
The elder Bush, 92, also posted the same photo in a tweet that described his joy over the visit.
"Big morale boost from a high level delegation. No father has ever been more blessed, or prouder," he wrote.
Bush's hospitalization is the second time this year that the former president has been hospitalized for pneumonia. A previous battle also required medical attention in January.
But Bush was released in time to be the honorary coin-flipper at this year's Super Bowl in Houston.
Earlier this month, Bush was paid a visit at his Houston home by yet another former president, his White House successor Bill Clinton.

"We caught up about kids, grandkids, old times and new times. And socks," Clinton said in a tweet that included a photo from the visit.

41 did a lot of great things and 43 has been a decent post-president private citizen. I hope 41 gets well enough to jump out of an airplane at 95!

This is a sweet post. It is nice to see children taking care of their parents in their elderly stage. Very touching and emotional.

God bless Bush. I am glad to see he's recovering well. It's must been hard for him to fight with the illness as a 90s year old man.

I never did like Bush or agree with his views, but its always nice to see nice and touching family stories.

Not a fan of bush but it is very heart warming to see son and father together and to know that he is recovering well and stably.

Indeed a very touchy post, but its funny how i never thought about finding out more about 41 until now after reading this, despite how many times i've heard about him being mention in news or anything related to the US history.

It is always interesting to hear that both father and son were presidents of our country. It is heartwarming to read and see their relationship and how they interact on a personal level.

Great presidents in their own respective times, very touching knowing that Bush Sr. is still kicking it.

What really caught my eye within this article was the fact that both presidents posted on social media. It was mentioned how George W. Bush (43) wrote an Instagram post about his father in the hospital and then Bush’s father posted a tweet about his son. Funny what social media has become. Moving on, this post was very heartwarming and any child should respect and give their time like Bush did for his father. At the end of the post, it was mentioned how Bill Clinton visited Bush in his Houston home. That was nice of him.

I never thought that I would miss them. But, I do. I would take either of them over 45. It's quite cool that Clinton paid a visit. And, I bet none of them think that Nambia is a country. Sigh.

This is very touching to see how family cares about each other.

It is great to see that despite being busy, Bush made the time to see his father at the hospital.
