youngfirstlady:

In the final telling, Jackie had all of these things: taste, responsibility, endurance, and most especially courage. The courage to move beyond the tragedies that fate placed in front of her; the courage to raise her children simply and well; and the courage, finally, to live her life as she saw fit — intelligently, gracefully, even whimsically — putting society’s and others’ expectations of her aside. Through it all, she took her own measure and listened to her own inner reason.

Jackie takes her poodle for a walk in the early 1950’s. I believe she named her poodle Gaullie (after Charles de Gaulle).

One day and one year after the assassination of President Kennedy and just two months after they moved to New York, the widowed First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy took her children, Caroline, 6, and John, 4, to see Hello Dolly! Not long afterwards, her brother-in-law, the former Attorney-General and the newly-elected U.S. Senator from New York, Robert F. Kennedy came to see it, and went backstage to meet Carol Channing, to tell her how much he enjoyed the show.
