George W. Bush: “I want to thank the families.”

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.
