Former President George W. Bush’s daughters, Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, have penned a letter of advice to President Barack Obama’s daughters days before the Obama family officially moves out of the White House.
In the letter published online by
Time on Friday, the 35-year-old twins tell 18-year-old Malia Obama and
15-year-old Sasha that as "former First Children," they'll be taking a
position they "didn't seek and one with no guidelines."
"Eight
years ago on a cold November day, we greeted you on the steps of the
White House. We saw both the light and wariness in your eyes as you
gazed at your new home," the twins wrote.
The Bushes advise the Obamas to
draw on their many experiences during their time in the White House and
use them to "help guide you in making positive change."
"In eight years, you have done so much. Seen so much," the Bush daughters wrote.
"We have watched you grow from
girls to impressive young women with grace and ease... Now you are about
to join another rarified club, one of former First Children."
The Bush twins also poked a bit
of fun at themselves in the note by telling the Obamas to enjoy
college, adding "as most of the world knows, we did."
