Sweet gesture by the former President to the former First Lady by remembering she appreciated the gesture of a candy before. That is class, which his father also had, just as the Obamas have too.

Other netizens pointed to the fact that Bush actually took time to think it through despite grieving, and suggested that their friendship was a “ray of sunshine on a somber day”:
The idea that he took the time to prepare to do this says everything about his character.

Humor is the answer on a day like today. And I think his father would have loved this!

I adore their friendship so much. It's nice to see genuine moments, especially in these times.

@MichelleObama's reaction was the sweetest (no pun intended) thing — a little laugh because that was a funny thing to do, followed by a look like, "He's grieving his father and thought to do this." ❤️❤️❤️

Just three months ago, Bush was caught on camera passing a cough drop to Michelle in an exchange that went viral during the funeral of late Senator John McCain.
