One of the most important gifts we can give our children is the gift of reading. Reading has always been a priority in our family, and my boys love to learn as a result. Today on #FamilyLiteracyDay, take the time to read to your kids. It will enrich their lives and yours.

"For this train, that has this iconic moment in dad's life - to be resident on the property next to the @Bush41Library is just an amazing tribute to a great man, to a great life well-lived. And we're so grateful for @UnionPacific for this amazing, generous gift." - @nmbush

Historic photos from the Bush family's arrival @Bush41Library for the last leg of the state funeral for Pres George H.W. Bush. Daughter Doro received the flag. Thanks to @prezfotog for these fantastic pics. #Remembering41 #Bush41 (Credit Office of George HW Bush-Eric Draper)

The 41st President will be carried to his final rest wearing socks that pay tribute to his lifetime of service, starting as an 18 year-old naval aviator in war. That legacy is now being carried, in part, by the brave, selfless men and women aboard @CVN77_GHWB. #Remembering41

Special visit today with a great friend -- and now, a best-selling author. Luckily I had a freshly laundered pair of @BillClinton socks to mark the occasion.

Enjoying a great book and a wonderful walk down memory lane this morning. Yet another reminder of just how lucky I have been in life. Very proud of the author and co-author too. More at: greatamericanlovestory.com/

A complete joy to welcome the “HamFam” — the cast and crew of @HamiltonMusical — to our Houston office for a special performance I will never forget. History never sounded so powerful.

Quite moved by this announcement by @MethodistHosp. The atrium is beautiful, but recent developments notwithstanding I have not taken up residence here. The doctors, nurses and support staff are so nice, but the second I get the green light I’m outta here. houstonmethodist.org/newsroo…

Children of parents with low #literacy skills have a 72% chance of being at the lowest #reading levels. That's one reason why 1.2 million kids drop out of high school every year. #family #education #EducationForAll #TuesdayThoughts
