I know there will be those of you who would love to dump on this. I thought it was a beautiful summary of where they are at this point in theor lives. Please either ignore or leave alone....
Watching ANYONE approach the end of their life is sad to me at this point in my life. Any of you who have been with their spouse this long understand this,
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter are 'coming to the end' but together and 'in love,' their grandson shares
Former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter’s grandson said his grandparents remain together and in love, even as they face health challenges.
“They're coming to the end, as we know,” Jason Carter, chairman of the Carter Center’s Board of Trustees and an attorney, told USA TODAY on Thursday.
The Carter Center, the longtime charity created by the former first couple, announced earlier this year that the
former president was entering hospice care. In May, the Carter family revealed the
former first lady was diagnosed with dementia
“He's been in hospice now for several months, but they are happy,” Jason Carter said. “They are together. They are at home. They're in love, and I don't think anyone gets more than that. I mean, it's a perfect situation for this time in their lives.”
And he added that despite his grandmother’s diagnosis, this time marks “a very joyful moment for her in a lot of ways.” Rosalynn Carter turned 96 last month.
“They're both doing as well as can be expected,” Jason Carter said.
He added that his grandfather, whose 99th birthday falls on Oct. 1, faces “really significant physical challenges,” but he does spend time watching baseball games and seeing family “almost every day.”
