I once read Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter have done more for more people in more countries than any other couple in the history of the world. As I watch the beginning of his funeral events I'm in awe of his simple dignity and goodness. He wasn't the best president we've ever had but he is surely the most decent human being to ever hold that office. As an American I'm proud that he did his best for US and all other countries in the world, no wars started on his watch. His personal ambitions, greed or avarice never shamed the office or citizens both in or out of office.
When asked about his happiest moments, one was the day the Iranian hostages were released. Think about it, the day he left office after not being
re-elected he was thinking of them and happy. Sums up the character of the man.
His words of wisdom on his 77+ year marriage was, "You just have to stick."
It has been heavily snowing in DC for days, awful weather. If you believe in signs...It's a beautiful blue sky day for his motorcade trip to the Capitol.
RIP Sir, we need more people like you in this world. I'm sure you're happy and at peace in your precious Roses arms.
He was a good man. We need more people like him in the world.
