As former President Jimmy Carter’s 99th birthday approaches on October 1, his grandson Jason Carter shares an update on his grandparents’ well-being. Despite facing significant physical challenges, Jimmy Carter spends time with his family and enjoys watching baseball almost every day. Jason Carter, who is also the chairman of the Carter Center’s Board of Trustees, reveals to USA Today that both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter are “coming to the end, as we know,” but their situation is “perfect … for this time in their lives.” The couple, residing at home where Jimmy Carter has been receiving hospice care for several months, are “in love, and I don’t think anyone gets more than that,” Jason Carter says.
Jason Carter further reveals that President Biden and his grandfather maintain regular communication, with Biden even writing a letter to express his continued thoughts and prayers for Jimmy Carter. In celebration of Carter’s 99th birthday, the Carter Center is organizing a “digital mosaic,” calling on the public to share well wishes here or on social media using the hashtag #JimmyCarter99. Initially, the family was uncertain whether Jimmy Carter would make it to this significant milestone when he first entered hospice care, as People reports. If he reaches 99, Jimmy Carter will become the first US president to achieve this feat, and he already holds the record for being the longest-living US president with a marriage that has lasted 77 years.
