73 years. That\’s the length of one of the greatest love stories in U.S. history. With the passing of former First Lady Barbara Bush, a very touching love letter has surfaced. President George H.W. Bush was a Navy pilot back in 1943 and penned this sweet letter to his then fiance, \’Bar\’. The letter read in part, “I love you, precious, with all my heart and to know that you love me means my life. How often I have thought about the immeasurable joy that will be ours someday. How lucky our children will be to have a mother like you,”. The very definition of true love~
