Jenna Bush Hager tearfully recalls advice grandfather George H.W. Bush gave her before he died

Jenna Bush Hager broke down in tears recalling the advice her late grandfather and former President George H.W. Bush shared with her before his death.

Speaking on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” Wednesday, Bush Hager and her co-host Hoda Kotb discussed fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg’s life and the upcoming Hulu documentary that explores it.

As the duo talked about getting the most out of life, Bush Hager shared the wisdom her late grandpa imparted before his death in 2018 at age 94.

“It reminded me of this evening I spent with my grandpa and he could barely speak and I was sitting between him and he leaned over to me and he’s like, ‘Don’t forget to enjoy the game,’” she shared.

“And it was at the end of his life and at sort of the beginning of mine, relatively. And to hear somebody that had done everything, be like, ‘Don’t forget to be in it,’ to enjoy it, to be part of it, I’ll never forget it,” she added, being overcome with emotion. “It’s kind of what I want to tell all of us.”

Jenna Bush would never have gotten appointed to the Today show job except for her name and connections. The same thing happened with Chelsea Clinton and MSNBC. Neither particularly intelligent, witty nor attractive, nothing to set her aside from thousands of other young women far more talented and attractive who would never be considered for such a job bc they didn’t have the connections. And I’m sure it didn’t hurt that her grandfather, father and uncles would publicly criticize a President of their own party in return.

Life IS a game.

+++++++++

I agree with you if the goal of the game is to live a God fearing life, whereby you try to live in a way pleasing to him and not the worlds “game”.

I think the evil elitist ex-CIA SOB tried to have Reagan killed so he could do an JFK/LBJ SWAMP take down.....

MK Ultra and mind control was/is far more advanced than most will accept.

Used to be they had to start with an unstable individual....now I think they can do it to almost anyone.

Sort of reminds me of this..

If you ever discover that what you’re seeing is a play within a play, just slow down, take a deep breath, and hold on for the ride of your life.

I liked Jenna better when she was a sorority drunk who had no opinions. Now she’s this preachy airhead who thinks she’s a philosopher with very important opinions.

Hear, hear!

My father passed away in August of 2017, but he got to see the Cubs win the World Series in 2016. The last thing my father asked us was, “how did the Cubbies do today?”

Similar experience with my father as he was about to pass in Jan 2016. He said something about the Cubs not winning the WS in the 82 years of his life. I spoke of it at his service and said "watch, they'll win it this year". As it would be, they did win the WS in 2016. Selfishly, I wonder if my Dad had something to do with that.

And Gayle King, "friend" of Oprah.

Exactly.

I admit that I was pulled in hook, line, and sinker for W in 2000 and during both of his terms. I know better now....
