Dearest President and Mrs. Bush,

Last year on your anniversary, your many admirers here on Free Republic promised that for your next anniversary, we would give you four more years in the White House.
Well, Happy Anniversary!!

......

What a year it has been! President Bush, we have anguished
over the vicious attacks on your character, and sensed how deeply it hurt you, Laura.
You have said often that it hurts to have the one you love attacked, and know how difficult a year this must have been for you both.

But at the same time, this campaign has also brought you out among the people of this country
who have come to love you both as few Presidents and First Ladies have ever been loved.
You have heard from thousands upon thousands of us that we pray for you, respect you, and indeed, love you.
You have heard the screams and thunderous applause of massive crowds and met one on one with volunteers who would do anything in their power, and spend as much time and effort as it took to assure your reelection.
You have seen the intense loyalty that your leadership, integrity, character and strength, humor and love have created in millions of Americans.

...........

We have heard you both say with a sense of nostalgia, that you knew no matter what happened,
this would be your last campaign together. And we remember your stories of your first ‘honeymoon’ campaign,
driving around Texas in your Olds Cutlass getting to know each other very well! But we have also sensed that regardless of the outcome of this election, you would still have each other, and because of your deep love and commitment to one another, that you both would be OK.

.........

Your marriage has been such a shining example to the American people of what a committed marriage is all about…….something that is so much needed in this age of self-centeredness and throw-away marriages, . President Bush, you have said that Laura is “the love of my life” and want you to know that we are touched when you say that. We have seen your eyes well up with tears when you talk about your beloved wife and your beautiful daughters (who think your marriage is great ), and it has given us a window into your very soul.

... ...

Laura, we have seen your tender affection in holding your husband’s hand, or touching his arm in gentle support as he leads this nation through the turmoil of war and uncertainty, and know that your steadiness and serenity comforts and inspires him. We know that your intimate conversations when day is done and in the early morning hours are an encouragement and inspiration to him, and help him to continue to lead us with certitude and conviction.
We know that your prayers for him sustain him.

......

A marriage like yours, which has endured the hardships and joys of 27 years of living and working as a team, and come out stronger and deeper because of them, is a precious gem in our contemporary culture.
The two of you are one……….and the American people have been privileged to get a glimpse into that unity at work as you have let us in on some private moments in public places.

..... .

You have clearly placed God and your shared faith in Him at the center of your life together, and His work in you both is evident in the joy, radiance and peace that your faces reveal. God has richly blessed you in your marriage, and by choosing to allow you to lead us, He has blessed us as well.

.......

Thank you for your commitment to each other and to the sacrifice of serving America together.
We are praying fervently for you, and will be for the next four years and beyond. May God give you many, many more years together with days of peace and love, tenderness and passion, laughter and fun,
and more than a few romantic pick-up truck rides around the ranch!

HAPPY 27th ANNIVERSARY, President and Mrs. Bush!!!!

Almighty God, we thank you for the gift of marriage; that through it we may come to know the intimate and unfathomable love of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Bless George and Laura in the years to come that through their devotion to You and to each other, You may be glorified and exalted. Give them enduring patience and fortitude to meet the challenges they face daily. Embue upon them Your Grace and Your Peace that passes all understanding. Strengthen their bonds as their foundation rests upon You, the Source of all Light and Life. Through the love and strength of Your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit now and always. Amen.
