My father in law died out of the blue. In bed, and his wife woke up and went on...that is how peaceful he went. Yes, it was a shock. It was not expected at all.
I understand now what a gift that was for him.
Yes I said it he will go with her soon.
My dad and a good friend of mine both succumbed to “blood infections”. Took them months but nothing could be done.
And I was SURE my dad would win as he had beaten both colon cancer and thyroid cancer in the years prior.
Half of his actual being is gone after decades together.
Totally understandable that his resistance plunged...prayers for all who are aching.
Richard Nixon lasted 10 months after Pat passed away.
DU seems to like the Bushes now that they are perceived as Anti-Trump.
Yup. Some people are "married" married.
Oh, dear.
Vaya Con Dios, Poppy
My father told me years ago he was ‘taking care of himself’ because ‘mother’ could not do well alone.
Dad is 88, mom is 85...they left Sunday on a 27 day cruz out of Florida ending in Scotland then a 15 hour flight home.
Nice to have healthy parents.
Even better to know you have AWESOME genes.
I cant believe so many think that Poppy boosh is done for.
PLenty more photo-ops and bootys too goose out there.
well see.
HW got his time and maybe a little more. That’s the best anyone can hope for.
My father was born 2 months before him. He was a 3 war Marine and a *true* patriot. He passed 3 days before his 79th birthday.
My point? While Bush’s passing is certainly sad for his family, he didn’t get short changed. When men like my father die, the country gets short changed.
Yep, they live for each other. My great aunt and uncle died just days apart.
Former President George H.W. Bush in intensive care
“Bush, 93, was admitted to the hospital on Sunday morning with an infection that led to sepsis, which can be life-threatening, according to a source close to the former Republican President. He was in critical condition, the source said.
The source added that Bush’s blood pressure kept dropping and a couple of times there was serious concern about whether he was going to come through, but that he had been stabilized.”

Bttt.
My Mom died eleven months to the day after my Dad died. He went on December 18, 2010, and Mom passed on November 18, 2011.
Blessings to you. My brother died tragically and unexpectedly at 30 years old. Wouldnt wish on anyone what my parents went through.
Mom and dad were married for 66 years. When she died dad crashed and burned mentally and physically lost a lot of weight. Took a long time to get his mind back and it’s really not all there like it used to be.
Coming up on additonal JFK files release?
Bad timing sir.
Yes, like night follows day.
