“She was like, ‘Don’t cry, Mommy,’ and I said, ‘I’m not going to cry,’ " Bush Hager recalled. “I had on my sunglasses. There was something about it because it’s the camp I went to as a little girl, so there was this nostalgia.”
“Also, I got out of the car and she said, ‘Mommy, I have sunscreen in my eyes.’ But I knew she didn’t have sunscreen in her eyes,” she added. “It was just this feeling of … she’s old! How is she old enough to go away from me for three weeks?”
