Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis

So I really liked this photo so I colorized it myself!  

Kennedy Christmas Cards

Do you see how happy Jackie is?

Happy Birthday, Caroline!

Every time we got off the plane that day, three times they gave me the yellow roses of Texas, but in Dallas they gave me red roses. I thought, how funny, red roses… so the seat was full of blood and red roses. Dr. Burkley later gave me back two of the red roses they had found under his shirt when they’d taken it off. Dr. Burkley brought out the two roses and said, ‘I want you to have them.’ At Bethesda I gave him back one… and Dr. Burkley said, ‘This is the greatest treasure of my life.’ – Jackie Kennedy, December 19, 1963

JFK gave this gold bracelet with diamonds to Jackie as a Christmas gift in 1953. Caroline Kennedy chose this piece of jewelry to travel with Jackie’s clothing when it displayed in exhibitions around the world.

“I know my husband was devoted to me. I know he was proud of me. It took a very long time for us to work everything out, but we did, and we were about to have a real life together. I was going to campaign with him. I know I held a very special place for him—a unique place" —Jackie Kennedy

Likely at Glen Ora.

“I have been through a great deal, as you know. But I have had lots of happy moments as well. Life is made of both the good and the bad, they cannot be separated from each other.”

Happy 89th Birthday, Jackie!
