The Unbreakable Bond of the Bush sisters in the eyes of their parents, Former U.S President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush.
Former U.S President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush discuss their twin daughters and the beautiful, powerful bond the girls have had since a young age. They also talk about the girls' strength and individuality, as they had worked to serve others in their own, meaningful ways over the years.
"When your child is successful in helping others, it makes you feel great. It's kind of what parenting is all about, so we are very proud of our girls."
- Former U.S. President, George W. Bush
