Sofia and Aria attended a book signing for Barbara and Jenna Bush's newest book "Love Comes First." It was held on the SMU campus at the George W. Bush Presidential Library. Laura Bush was in attendance too. It happened also to be her birthday. I asked was there cake and they responded "No cake but lots of desserts!" I recalled the time Aria wrote to me from Italy in 2008. She had been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to work in Sardinia for a year and had received an invitation along with four other Fulbright recipients to meet with Laura Bush in Rome at the Center for International Studies. Today was one of those full circle moments, mothers and daughters meeting for the first time and again.
