Jimmy Carter

[Rhodyspit75]

Jimmy carter has chosen to begin hospice care at home. Regardless of your opinion on his political career he had a great career after his time in office. Habitat for humanity was his passion.

Indeed. a remarkable man. I have a couple of his books he autographed at his library in Atlanta.

Great man. What he accomplished post-presidency was nothing short of remarkable. I wish him and Rosalynn well. Fun fact: they have the longest marriage of any US President!

Politics aside, I have always been an admirer and supporter of his work with Habitat for Humanity.

Don't know if any of you noticed that the Carter's celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary. Married in 1946 and the longest marriage of any president. Amazing that he went into hospice care in February - that doesn't usually last that long, but, over 3/4 of a century married - astonishing!

His wife has been diagnosed with dementia, I hope it is slow and he doesn't have to witness that during his final days.

He accomplished remarkable things long before he was president as well.

They have been married longer than I’ve been alive, and I’m one of the old guys around here.

Rosalynn Carter - RIP at 96. Went into hospice care on Friday. According to the accounts she died at home. Doesn't get much better than that.

And considering she was deep into dementia, probably a relief for the family, sad as it is.
