Ivanka Trump

But it was incredibly difficult.

Interestingly, I knew real time in that moment that he was fine.

Like I had, I just knew that like it wasn't his time.

So I was horrified and I was scared and I was protective of my children.

But I also, I didn't believe like the worst possible outcome had transpired.

Thank God.

And thank God it hadn't.

And then I saw him that night when he came home from the hospital because he was also staying.

That morning he had left from Bedminster, and that evening he returned after he left the hospital.

And it was late, 2 o'clock in the morning, and Jared and I stayed up, and we met his car as he was pulling in.

And I just feel like just incredibly lucky that he was protected on that day.

But it's, you know, when...

You can't take things for granted in life, and I've learned that in numerous ways, that being one of them.

When my mom passed prematurely, when my husband had a scare with cancer.

You know, all of these challenges that remind you how finite and how precious every moment of this life we live are.

make you realize you just can't take anything for granted.

And I think as you move through them and, you know, God willing, you're able to.

And we were so fortunate that day that, that this was a failed attempt to take his life.

Um, not a realized one, but you just, I think you, you recommit to sort of love and connection and to a recognition of, um,

how short our time here on Earth is and how you have to value it.
