Barbara Bush: One great first lady

Her name was Barbara. She passed away at the sweet age of 92 on April 17th.

    Around the end of the Regen era, she and her husband George H.W. Bush were in the white house.

 I wasn't the huge fan of the Bush's, but she spoke the truth and her mind was pure gold. She was one classy lady that was known for her pearls around her neck as well as being one of the top 10 best first ladies next to Abe Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd.

   Her real last name was Pierce, she met her husband, George, as he was being stationed to battle in WWII and they met at a dance at the age of 16. They fell in love and had five wonderful children (six if their oldest daughter survived Leukemia and didn't die at the age of three)

   She was known for her gray hair that she had, with people thinking George H.W. was his mother, but it seemed she developed the gray hair in her forties.

    Her son, George W. Bush would soon be president after Clinton. He too was ok, but again not a fan of the Bush's.

  I idolized Barbara for speaking her mind, having those pearls around her neck and for being one hell of an amazing first lady. She made George Bush Sr. and Jr. stand out in their lives.

     Sadly, she was ill and losing battle with the illness that plagued her. She passed away, refusing treatment with her family by her side.

We shouldn't remember on how she left us, but how she inspired us. For being a powerful woman. There should be more people like her today. Again, I think she was the one that inspired a generation of people to be who they want to be.
She and George would make the early 90's one amazing year. From 1988 to1993.

 Other first ladies after her, tried to follow in the footsteps of greatness. I'm not saying they're bad, except maybe one I'm not gonna say who.
  Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton were the best, still are.
 

   In the years Barbara was the first lady, a tv show named "The Simpsons" started. George stated, "Families should be more like the Walton's and less like the Simpsons." Ironically, when Clinton was president, the Simpsons had an episode where George and Barbara were living across the street. Barbara was voiced by Maggie Roswell and George voiced by Harry Shearer.
 It was a funny episode. And at the end, it wasn't bad, but it made George and Barbara seeming to be bad neighbors or something like that (BTW: Gerald Ford, voiced by Dan Castellaneta, eventually moved across the street after the Bush's left)

  It seems the staff of the Simpsons, or Marge, wrote a letter to the Bush's and a couple years later, Barbara wrote back:

 Barbara, you are a gem, a one and only. Sad that I was only young when your husband ran for the presidency, and your son...well not great but OK. 

   She was suffering from Grave's disease and had congestive heart failure as well. She is missed by many, not known by a lot (Compared to this generation) but she is an icon and will always be remembered as an amazing First Lady.

God bless you, Barbara
