Read about Jacqueline Kennedy

Today I read about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, she was the wife of 31st American president John F Kennedy. Jacqueline known as jackie was a beautiful woman having a wide circle of interests. She was a experienced horse rider at the age of 12 and had won two championships in this sport. Jacqueline was a avid reader too till the age of 13 she almost read each and every book in her book shelf mostly written by best writers of different cultures. Jackie was a good writer and deep poetess and even a skilled painter too. This shows the creative soul embodied in beautiful structure of woman named jackie,by the way this is a really good book written about her dynamic life. At the age of 11 she wrote a poem " the sea joy " which showed her mature picking of the words which seemed quite ahead of her time. That marvellous poem showed the powerful imagination of a little girl over her feelings about sea. Her writing skills were so refined that her parents predicted her as writer somewhere in future. Jacqueline was a style icon too. Her dressing , her hair style, the wide bold sunglasses marked her as the youngest and stylish First Lady of USA. Her red dress in solidarity with Canadian soldiers on visit to Canada won the Canadian hearts. Her fluent French interaction with French journalists made her the darling of Paris on her official visit as First Lady to this beautiful city. Jacqueline the mother of two beautiful children took keen interest in making the white house a comfort zone not for her family but for visitors too. She restored the classic historic furniture of White House. Jackie also build a kinder garden for her children, a small cute tree house for her son too.Having a charisma and great impact on people, Jacqueline Kennedy was madly in love with her husband the president of America John f Kennedy.once she was asked" what is the duty of First Lady? She answered with warm joyful voice " I think her most important duty is to take care of her husband so that the president may serve the people well." In the same way when she was asked about the source of her opinions she said "I get most of my opinions from my husband." At the presidential campaigning of JFK she became ill despite her demanding dismal health she contributed to the campaign by writing articles and letters to many magazines and count on personalities...
She was a western lady but her heart seemed to be of eastern sacrificing women.
She is the one who saw her beloved husband dying in her lap. The red roses she was holding were socked in blood. What a heart she could have? Her courage to face those tragic sudden moments is unmatchable. when she was asked to change her blood stained pink dress, she said" no ! let them see what they have done..". That pink dress became world famous as a symbol of her great loss. I don't understand this very sentence which she said to incoming First Lady after leaving the White House as widow, she said " don't get scare of this house. I have spent my most beautiful years here."
Many books many Articles have been written on her life , my blog post will be an ordinary addition but the intension behind writing this tribute post is my deepest thoughts for her. While reading about here I felt a strong yet sensitive woman , artistic but a diplomat and a possessive yet humble wife in her, a First Lady for her people whom was hit hard by life so many times but she managed to rose again. It was jackie who survived yet alone.
