Watch Jenna Bush Hager Read Her Daughter’s Summer Camp Note

Jenna Bush Hager shared her daughter’s very sweet – and heartbreaking – note from summer camp TODAY on Wednesday.

“I got a letter last night that reminded me of a letter I would write, and it broke my heart into a million pieces,” Jenna said before embarking on what Mila, 8, said. , wrote.

“Dear mom and dad, I miss you,” Jenna read. “I wish I could be with you.”

But it was the kicker that really seemed to pull on co-host Hoda Kotb’s heartstrings: “PS Dad, how long before you come get me? I miss you too much. I have to stop crying. So goodbye. I miss you terribly, mom and dad. “

Jenna said that for a while her husband considered heading straight to camp to pick up their eldest child.

“Henry said, ‘Should we go? Should I just go get her?’ I was like, ‘No, she’s fine,’ “Jenna said.

This isn’t the first time Mila has written an adorable letter to her mom. Last year, Jenna shared on Instagram a note her daughters wrote to her, describing their mother as “talntd and smrt”. And Jenna said she wrote letters to her two daughters on the day they were born.

Last month, Jenna revealed on the show that she dropped Mila off at summer camp and that they both fought back tears when they said goodbye.

“She was like, ‘Don’t cry, mom’ and I said, ‘I’m not gonna cry,'” Jenna said, crying just remembering the moment. “I had my sunglasses on. There was something about it because this is the camp I went to when I was little, so there was that nostalgia. Plus, I got out of the car and she said, ‘Mom, I have sunscreen in my eyes.’ But I knew she had no sunscreen in her eyes. It was just that feeling of … she’s old! How is she old enough to be away from me for three weeks? “

The letter arrived TODAY with Hoda and Jenna when the co-hosts were discussing Hoda’s upcoming trip to Tokyo for the Olympics. “I’m expecting an email like that from you next week,” Jenna joked to Hoda.

The couple also discussed how fans are invited to join TODAY in the square every morning of the week from July 26 to August 6 to celebrate the Tokyo Olympics.
