On Friday, November 30, 2018, at 10:10 in the evening George H. W. Bush, forty-first president of the United States, father of six, grandfather to seventeen, and leader of the free world from 1989 to 1993 passed away. Great and small that transition always leaves those of us who remain with an immeasurable hole in our heart.

You have probably heard the accolades about the life of this fine man. We know he was dedicated to service. He was a warrior turned leader. We know that he was a man of character and dignity who wanted to make us a kinder and more gentle nation, and we know what he didn't do in life his grace, civility, and dignity may have accomplished in some small degree this week in his death.

On the morning after her grandfather's passing, Jenna Bush-Hager woke to the reality of what her family had lost. She now had to live missing the giant of a man who had given his wife and children everything.

She remembered her "Gampy" as a fierce family man who taught them all about the importance of service to their country and community, about love for the family, and about the power of gentle and kind words.

She knows that this man who had such a beautiful heart is rejoicing again now that he is together with his beloved wife Barbara. As a tribute to her grandfather Bush- Hager posted pictures on Instagram.

Jenna Bush-Hager was able to ask her grandfather to share his thoughts on the afterlife. He admitted honestly that at one point he used to be afraid of dying. He told her that it frightened and worried him, but that now he was at a point when he actually looked forward to it. He believes that death reunites a person with those he loves.

George H. W. Bush died after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease. Some say he died from a broken heart at the loss of his wife a little over eight months ago.
