Jenna Bush Hager breaks down in tears as she reveals touching life advice her grandfather George H.W. gave her before his death: 'He could barely speak'

Jenna, 42, was overcome with emotion during a conversation with her Today cohost, Hoda Kotb, on Wednesday as she recalled a conversation with the former President, who died in 2018.

'Watching that, it reminded me of this evening I spent with my grandpa, and he could barely speak, and I was sitting between him and he leaned over to me and he's like, "Don't forget to enjoy the game,"' Jenna recalled. 'About how all he wanted was us to come home, and that was what brought him the most joy, was to be surrounded by his grandkids and his family,' the blonde star said tearfully as she tried to compose herself. Jenna also revealed that her grandfather had enjoyed having spirited discussions filled with agreements and disagreements, whether he was talking to 'friends or "political enemies" who became friends.'
