FULL TITLE: ‘I love you, too’: George H.W. Bush's final words to his son just before the 41st president peacefully passed away aged 94 surrounded by family in Houston

A longtime friend of George Herbert Walker Bush has painted a peaceful picture of the 41st president's final days on earth before he passed away aged 94 surrounded by family at his home in Houston, Texas.

James A Baker III, both Bush's friend and former secretary of state, told the New York Times that the 94-year-old had been fading over the last week - spending most of his time sleeping, not eating and never getting out of bed.

Baker said that although the former president had defied death multiple times over the years - struggling with a form of Parkinson's and being hospitalized with pneumonia several times in recent months - this time felt different.

Baker stopped by the Bush home on Friday to check on his old friend - or perhaps to say goodbye.

He said as soon as he entered the room, Bush perked up, asking: 'Where are we going, Bake?'

Baker answered: 'We’re going to heaven.'

'That’s where I want to go,' Bush replied.

Within 13 hours, the 94-year-old was on his way.

Friends and family flocked to Bush's bedside on Friday evening as it became clear that the end was near.

His final conversation was a speaker phone call with his son, George W. Bush, who praised him as a 'wonderful dad' and told him that he loved him.

'I love you, too,' the father said - his last words on earth.

The two events in most people’s lives fraught with the most Hypocrisy and Mendacity are weddings and funerals.

See if you can figure out why.

Whether or not you liked him, it is a sad time. I was younger and less wiser when he was president. America was more innocent back then, too.

I’m feeling old and feeling my mortality right now and sad at how far this country has come with all of the anger and hate. I pray for America.

Next question. Will GWB be able to contain himself and not allude to Trump and bash him at the funeral?

Some would argue the DU crowd is worse when it comes to grave dancing. Based on what I’ve read today, I would beg to disagree.

I agree. The man flew 58 combat missions. Most of these whiny assholes haven't even served.

So even though George H. W. Bush’s health had been failing for several days, his son couldn’t even be bothered to make the trip to see him? How touching. :P

Why wasn’t W there with him? As someone said he knew his father was in failing health for a week and he could not clear his schedule to go from Dallas to Houston? I have no other words.

Do your homework on his war activities and then take a deep breath and remember his father Prescott Bush was funding the Nazis at the same time Bush was doing all that heroism.

Then his father funded Planned Parenthood with Margaret Sanger.

Then his son funded Planned Parenthood for the full eight years he was in the White House.

Evilmuch?

Reading the responses to this thread just remind me of the pettiness and bitterness so many people hold. A man has died, and yet some just can’t contain their desire to take nasty parting shots at him, his family, friends, or whoever was in his orbit. Its pretty pathetic to be honest.

A man has died and yes my condolences to his family.

That said, our country is dying and George H. W. Bush has been part of a parade of presidents who have presided over our country's destruction.

And now we all have to watch the hype over the death of one of those presidents.

Are Freepers "petty" because they criticize GHW Bush at this point in time. No, of course they aren't?

Are Freepers "bitter"? You bet they are, as they should be.

Too bad JFK couldn’t die in his bed surrounded by family.
That is all.

Bitter? For what? You live in the greatest country in the world, with an economy that is the envy of the world. You have running water, indoor plumbing, heat, a car, or 2 or more, and every convenience that man could ever imagine almost literally at your fingertips.

You live in the best time in human history to be alive, in the greatest country in the world.

Yet you grumble behind the anonymity of your computer monitor how “bitter” you are. Conservatism is about optimism and action, not whiny complaining. Why don’t we leave that to the snowflakes and SJWs.
