It wasn’t politics. It was humanity.

In 2013, former President George H.W. Bush, then 89, shaved his head to stand with a Secret Service agent’s 2-year-old son battling leukemia. 💔 Every member of his team followed, creating “Team Patrick” — a show of love and unity that touched hearts around the world. 🌎

Bush knew the pain too well. In 1953, he and Barbara had lost their little girl, Robin, to the same disease. Decades later, he turned his own sorrow into compassion — a quiet act of empathy that defined true leadership. ❤️

🗣️ “Compassion is the key to leadership — because it reminds us we’re all human.”
