George HW Bush buried beside wife Barbara and 3-year-old daughter Robin whose death devastated him
Late President George HW Bush was buried between his wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush, and his first daughter, three-year-old Pauline Robinson Bush, at his presidential library on the campus of Texas A&M University on Thursday.
The World War II hero's ultimate reunion reportedly gave solace to their family as his eldest son Geroge W Bush, in his tearful eulogy to his father, said: "And in our grief, let us smile knowing that Dad is hugging Robin and holding mom's hand again."
The former president reportedly never got over the agony of his daughter Robin's death who died at the age of three after battling leukaemia. Bush, in a letter to his mother in the late 1950s, had suggested that there was something missing from his home, despite them having four sprightly young boys. Bush wanted a daughter.
