President Carter, a few moments ago: #Getty

His son Chip Carter told reporters:

“Dad told me several times over the last nine months that he had always thought he would outlive Mom and protect her until she passed, but that now he wasn’t sure that was going to happen & that upset him,”

He was there for her until the end.

2. He can go now, and he probably will.

13. that's what I think,

and of course for him the end is near.

I knew one other couple, married for 60+ years, and thought that they would surely die one after the other because they were so close for so long. it did not quite happen that way; the wife outlived her husband by a couple years. She had by then rapidly advancing dementia, so i like to think that once she got there, it was like no time at all had passed and now they're where they've always meant to be always.

3. He looks pretty rough.

I wonder if he was just waiting for her to go first, so he could go in peace, knowing that she was safe.....

4. That happened with my parents

Dad couldn't let Mom go. Once he died, then she followed one month later.

11. I look for him to go in days. Same thing

when my grandparents died. Grandma died three weeks after Grandpa.

5. With tears in my eyes

I think about how much I admire and respect the Carters. They’re simply the best.

7. Mr. President...

...you are a model husband. THANK YOU for being the perfect example of how to treat a woman. God bless you...

8. He left the church he had been a member of most of his life due to their change in attitude toward women

My sweet husband got me one of Carter's books for Christmas years ago. It was sad to read how he felt his church had abandoned him due to their change in attitude toward women. He wouldn't have it and it hurt him to leave for a different denomination.

9. He fulfilled his wish...I hope he can rest easy with his remaining time

Bless him

12. So touching

I can't watch that without crying, but it is heartwarming at the same time.
RIP, Mrs. Carter!

15. This made me cry.

He did it, he was at her side when she passed. I believe he will let go now so that he can rejoin with her.

16. Does This Read Right?

He was there for her until the end

Until? Doesn't this imply that he left before the end?
I think better wording would be "...TO the end."
Maybe it's just me.

18. May their love story be told for many years to come.

What an example of pure and selfless love for one another.
