(6,377 posts)I personally believe in heaven, and I know that if after 93 years of life and 73 of them with my wife, after she died, I'd be completely ready to be reunited with her. He might be thinking the same thing.

(206,010 posts)Former President George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized in Houston with an infection, just after attending the funeral of his wife, Barbara, a spokesman said.
Jim McGrath said Monday on Twitter that the 93-year-old Bush is "responding to treatments and appears to be recovering." He was admitted Sunday morning to Houston Methodist Hospital after an infection spread to his blood, McGrath said.

McGrath wouldn't elaborate Monday night on the specifics of Bush's condition, saying additional updates would be issued "as events warrant." But he said the 41st president was eager to get well so he can get to his summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
"He's the most goal-oriented person on this planet," McGrath said.
