GHW Bush in serious condition. ICU for a blood infection. I have felt he would not be long on eart

[demtenjeep]

but never did I think it would be within a month

1. Remember Carrie Fisher and Doris Day?

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds?

[RandySF]

5. Yeah

[liberal N proud]

2. When Barbara died, I expected this to come soon

My father was so love sick when Mom died that he said he just couldn't live without her. He was in good health but declined after mom was gone.

[MiniMe]

20. I was pretty sure it would be soon, surprised it is this soon

My guess is that he wasn't taking care of himself at the end of Barbara's life

[demtenjeep]

3. I thought of June and Johnny Cash

died 4 months of each other

[left-of-center2012]

6. "... never did I think it would be within a month"

Try a week.

[LisaM]

7. He's had frequent hospitalizations the last few years.

I don't know that this will be the end.

8. My Uncle passed w/in 5 weeks of my Aunt's death ... he was strong for her as she was dying but ..

... after she passed he went downhill and welcomed his death.

BTW this is their legacy:

http://samaritanoutreachservices.com

Samaritan Outreach Services was formed in 1989 by Jean Carson and her husband Rev. John Carson, rector of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Hillsboro, Ohio. They along with Michael Maloney organized religious and community leaders to discuss how best to meet human needs in face of scarce social services in Highland County. They worked with both the Episcopal Appalachian Ministries and the Catholic Social Services in Cincinnati to create Samaritan Outreach Services.

9. Broken hearts can indeed cause one to die.

10. My dad lasted a year after Mom died

He was truly lost without her.

[UTUSN]

11. Oh "lordy" (Comey word), the media will not spare us the "love story" spin

while the Poppy escapades are buried.

[gopiscrap]

12. no kidding all of them were and are a bunch of assholes

[EffieBlack]

13. Wow.

[gopiscrap]

14. they were

think about all the shitty things Bush did. Also when I was younger he came to Tacoma to campaign for president he had the RNC private security detail beat the crap out of us protesters so fuck him!

[EffieBlack]

16. As I said, Wow.

[UTUSN]

18. You're a truth-to-power speaker, I'm surprised.

[EffieBlack]

19. Yes, I am

I’m also a Christian and try not to reserve my empathy for only those whom I’ve deemed to be deserving of it.

[UTUSN]

15. Thanks.

[Demsrule86]

17. There was never any proof of any escapades first of all. And I do think it was a love story.

I don't see a reason to be so nasty about this. I didn't like Bush as a president...but he was not Trump. My Mom died right after my Dad died. She simply didn't want to live after he was gone. My husband's Mom was the same way. I grow cold with terror at the thought of losing my husband. I can't imagine a world without him.

[UTUSN]

21. Compared to SHITLER everybody's fine. Poppy & clan have cashed in on their "service" their DNA

[Demsrule86]

23. I have no animosity towards Bush I or Barbara Bush... I am still pretty pissed at W...but

don't dislike his kids or his wife,

[IluvPitties]

22. She's calling him.
