In a recent update on the health of former President Jimmy Carter, his grandson Jason shared that Carter remains hopeful despite his physical decline. "Papa is holding on... his spirit is as strong as ever," Jason remarked, emphasizing the profound impact Carter has had on countless lives through his legacy of service and leadership. He noted that true leadership is rooted in selflessness and positivity, highlighting Carter's enduring influence. Carter, who has been in hospice care for the past year and a half, began to experience a decline following the death of his wife, Rosalynn, in November 2023. Jason reflected on the deep bond shared by the couple during their 77 years of marriage, stating, "None of us really understand what it's like for him right now." He acknowledged the emotional challenges Carter faces as he navigates this difficult period. As Carter approaches his 100th birthday on October 1, he continues to reside in the home he built with Rosalynn in Plains, Georgia. Jason described Plains as a place of immense support for his grandfather, underscoring its significance as a cherished home. "That's his home in every way," he said, highlighting the comfort it provides during this stage of life. Upon Carter's passing, the couple's property will be transformed into a museum, as they had deeded it to the National Park Service. This decision reflects their commitment to preserving their legacy and the values they championed throughout their lives.
