1. Nice

[Fla Dem]

2. She passed in April. Many thought he'd go fairly quick once Barbara was gone. nt

[Gothmog]

7. Same here

I expected GHW Bush to pass very quickly after Barbara's death

22. My parents were married for 64 years

They died within 5 months of each other. After Dad died, my Mom just sat, usually very quiet, and waited to die.

31. IME it seems like a lot of older long term couples...

die within a year of each other.

My husband's father (w/Alz) died 7 months after his mother unexpectedly back in 2000/2001. They were in their 80s and been together since the early 40s.
My own dad died last month, 6 mo after my beloved (step) mom. He was in his mid 90s and had been her caregiver for around 10 yrs. They had been together since the mid 70s (both previously widowed) and truly enjoyed and adored each other all those years.

[MrsCoffee]

10. 73 years.

Regardless of what I thought of their politics, I've got to say that this toon touched me.

[Totally Tunsie]

11. That's very sweet.

RIP together, George and Barbara.

12. Didn't much care for the family but this is heart warming

[Moebym]

13. Beautiful. NT

[Pepsidog]

14. Last of the old time decent republicans. Warrior and Statesman, not like the cowardly chicken-hawks

That makes up today’s GOP.

[sandensea]

20. +1

It's been downhill fast for that party since the elder Bush left in '93 and the Gingrinch wing took over.

Nothing but confederacy-coddling, hate radio, fake news, and fascism 2.0 ever since.

[DesertRat]

15. Very touching

[budkin]

16. Dang that made me tear up and I didn't care much for him

RIP

[MFGsunny]

17. K & R

[Demovictory9]

[Martin Eden]

19. Lovely

And by far the nicest reaction to this passing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. I loathed his politics, but this cartoon is perfect and loving. n/t

[Hekate]

23. This

Made me puddle up.

[SunSeeker]

24. Love that.

Even if I'm not a fan of Bush Co.

[Paladin]

25. Does Luckovich have great instincts, or what?

What an elegant and touching image.

[Expat 007]

26. Took a second for me to get it

But once I did, it touched my heart. May they both rest in peace, and have a real good time up there.

27. ...if you buy that heaven, hell, afterlife thing.

[hostalover]

28. Be like me. Decide you'll believe in the heaven part because it makes you feel good!

I imagine reuniting with my brother especially, which is kind of funny since he was a staunch atheist! Every Memorial Day when I put flowers (real ones, of course!) on his grave, I apologize for the barbaric act (in his eyes) I am committing.

[mahannah]

29. " because it makes you feel good" ?

[hostalover]

30. Sure! I enjoy imagining it even though I'm about 98% sure it'll never happen.
