President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara are both in the hospital now. It’s not looking good, and he definitely cannot attend President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration.
Due to Bush’s health problems, a letter from Bush to Trump has now been circulated by the media. In it, the former President explains, “My doctor says if I sit outside in January, it likely will put me six feet under. Same for Barbara. So I guess we’re stuck in Texas.”
Here is the full letter, as shared by John Karl of ABC News:

This is classy! Former First Lady Barbara Bush suggested during the Republican Primary that she opposed Trump, and there were rumors that former President H.W. Bush planned to vote for Hillary Clinton.
But their respect for the office and Trump’s historic victory is why they both planned on attending before their health prevented them from doing so. President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush are still scheduled to attend.
Let us pray for #41 and Barbara Bush during this difficult time.
