Jenna Bush Hager’s Post About Her Grandma Barbara Gave Me Happy Chills

As you know, Barbara Bush passed away this week.

Details have also been coming out about her little girl, Robin, who tragically passed away from cancer when she was three.

According to the Washington Post:

Barbara Bush described the death of her daughter and the grief that followed as an agony made more bearable by her relationship with her husband. Later, she would marvel that the tragedy that splits many couples had brought them closer.

Robin stayed in the hospital for seven months, having regular bone marrow tests and blood transfusions, which drove her father from the room while her mother remained resolutely at her side. On one quick outing to Maine, Robin finally saw her two brothers, whose pictures were taped to her hospital headboard but who had no idea their sister’s life was ebbing away.

In October, Robin died with her parents in the room. “For one last time I combed her hair and held our precious little girl,” Barbara wrote.

Barbara never fully recovered from the pain of losing her baby.

Today, Jenna Bush Hager posted a cartoon that absolutely melted my heart:

Someone sent this to me—I don’t know the artist but I love her. Miss you Gans.

Yes, I’m crying. No shame.

How beautiful.

RIP, Barbara, and enjoy finally being reunited with your sweet baby girl Robin.
