Bush, is the importance of kind gestures. Bush Hager, 42, revealed on Thursday's Today with Hoda & Jenna broadcast that her famous dad treats her mother, Laura Bush, to a cup of coffee every morning. "It is in the little," the talk show personality said. "I think when you first are in a romantic relationship, or dating or marriage or whatever, you think it's the big things that matter, but it's not; it's the tiny things. It's the note on the… it's the cup of coffee. My dad brings my mom the cup of coffee the way she likes it. Every. Single. Morning." After co-host Hoda Kotb asked if he really does so "every single morning," Bush Hager revealed that the former president, 77, is just as kind to her and her twin sister, Barbara Pierce Bush. "Every single morning," Bush Hager said. "And when we're visiting in Dallas, he brings Barbara and me a cup of coffee."
