Jenna Bush Hager fought back tears while recalling an empowering message her late grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, shared with her. During the June 5 episode of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, the co-hosts were discussing an upcoming Hulu documentary about designer Diane von Furstenberg.
” Jenna said she knows it’s difficult to step back and savor things, especially with the minutiae of life, but it’s vital to do so. “In the middle of it’s hard, right? And there’s tedious moments, but I think what we got to do is that tediousness is the beauty.” Jenna then said that Hoda was showing her videos of her two daughters as “you prepare for a transition.” “You could’ve thought, ‘Ugh, they have me up in the middle of the night again,’ but you were in it,” she said.
