"He's been in this situation now in hospice for more than a year, and it's amazing because when he first went into hospice, we thought we had a matter of days with him," Jason said.
"Obviously, he's mourned the passing of his wife of 77 years, which is just an unbelievable thing," he added.
But Jason said his grandfather's spirit remain strong.
"He turned 99 last year, and he's been in this hospice situation for so long, and he's so severely limited physically that we've all been worried that he's miserable," Jason shared. "But we had this moment, he and I, last year on his 99th birthday."
"The Carter Center had done this enormous social media project where there were birthday wishes from all over the world, and I was telling him about it," Jason said. "I said, 'Papa we got all these birthday wishes,' and he said, 'From who?'"

"I said, 'Papa, from thousands and thousands and thousands of people' and 'from over 100 countries," Jason recalled. "And he, like, paused and it really hit him in Plains, Georgia, on this day, when he was 99, and he said, '100 countries.'"
"He kind of teared up," the younger Carter shared. "And it's just an incredible idea to think that somebody like that from that little place could have had the impact truly globally that he had, and I think it affected him."

Hope he survives long enough to hear the guilty verdict this week.

Fight on Jimmy the beloved.

1. He's still needed.

[MyOwnPeace]

2. Indeed!

And the ones that could learn the most from him won't even pay attention........

[underpants]

3. Every day he's still going the better for the rest of us

Truly a remarkable human being.

[walkingman]

4. President Carter has always been an inspiration to me and more so every day!

[calimary]

19. He still is a truly selfless, generous, caring, and compassionate man.

All he's cared about is service, and the grace thereof. God bless him mightily. When he finally gets to Heaven, he'll be escorted to one of the good seats. Very likely a love seat so he can sit with Rosalynn.

9. Thanks for keeping us updated

Love the story about his reaction to the 99th Birthday messages. What a humble, grateful soul. When I need someone to inspire me, I always look to President Carter.

[malaise]

11. I loved that too

[gademocrat7]

12. Former President Jimmy Carter

Represents what it means to have a true servant’s heart. He is a compassionate, loving man. A incredible modest politician who gave back to his country and the world.

[malaise]

14. So true

[Warpy]

13. It sounds like he's still having waking periods

during which he's lucid.

He always said he wanted to outlive the last guinea worm. I hope he gets that news before he goes. There were 27 known cases in 2020, so we've got to be close.

15. getting closer

[COL Mustard]

16. I didn't vote for him, although I could have

He’s an excellent example of what an American president should be.

[DownriverDem]

36. i voted for Jimmy

and was in shock when reagan won. People didn't understand what a reagan win would mean. He destroyed the middle class and unions.

[COL Mustard]

41. I voted for Ford in 76

And Anderson in 80. Reagan scared me too.

God Speed!

21. A Kind Character really does count...

Jimmy Carter is an example of the best of us.

A Kind Character really does matter in this World.

If you know of any MAGAs you might remind them of that.

49. Well said

😀

[Attilatheblond]

22. Holy people walk among us

and we usually don't recognize them. They seldom recognize themselves.

Sometimes, we DO recognize them by their works. We need to show gratitude and honor them with some good works of our own, as we can. But NOBODY in decades, perhaps centuries can match Jimmy Carter.

[MLAA]

23. What a humble man, despite all the evidence of his impact, he continues to be surprised by the respect, love

and admiration millions have for him.

[malaise]

26. So true

Rec

[usaf-vet]

24. I hope you are right about BOTH. Survival and guilty verdict.

[malaise]

25. What a great man. The greatest statesman of my era.

I wish him no pain & when the time comes, That he goes peacefully in his sleep.

[malaise]

28. THIS

He deserves no less

[mountain grammy]

29. A great man..

I think America would be a far better place if people had voted for good over greed in 1980.

[malaise]

33. You are correct

Rec

[AKwannabe]

30. 100 years!

100!!!

💯

[Blue Owl]

31. Bless Jimmy

A REAL American patriot!

[stage left]

32. I love Jimmy Carter.

I always have.

[mdmc]

35. me too

[nolabear]

34. Thanks. I think of him every day.

I guess I want whatever he wants—to go, to stay, but I hope he knows how much of a difference he has made.

[malaise]

38. He's a good man

Of that I’m sure

[CarolinaNC]

37. He was Candidate for President the first time I ever voted....I made the right and best decision! A great man

[Aristus]

39. I don't have the words to properly honor Jimmy Carter.

But I couldn’t help notice that his grandson calls him Papa. I called my own paternal grandfather Papa, too.

[malaise]

42. I did find that sweet

👍

[TeamProg]

40. Stay with us Jimmy! Even to see TSF convicted ! nt

[Initech]

43. Hope Pres. Carter makes it to the 100 club!

[malaise]

44. I didn't think he's still be alive so who knows

[DallasNE]

46. Jimmy Carter Was Born October 1, 1924 n/t

[John Shaft]

47. He was a man who was "called" to public service

He didn't pursue it for fame, money, and connections.

He is a good, decent man. The world needs some Jimmy Carters right about now. Thankfully he had a smart, good woman like Rosalynn to walk beside him on his path.

[malaise]

48. Nice

Rec

[Passages]

50. He is Jimmy the beloved.

[marble falls]

51. "Fight on, and take your rest when it's time." He has memorials already built in all the Habitat for Humanity homes ...

... he put his hand and sweat into, all over the nation. And that in itself is a legacy very few people could ever match. Now consider: that doesn't represent a fraction of his good and selfless and largely unknown things he's done, including acts of bravery done in uniform.

There should be a place in Hell for those Reaganites who slandered and libeled him into only one term.

[jaxexpat]

53. That is real stuff, mal.

[TBF]

54. Wherever he falls in terms of effective presidents, the one thing we know about Jimmy Carter

is that he truly was one of the very best (if not the best) person in terms of what he did outside of the presidency. I know of no other president who gave so selflessly - the work for Habitat into his golden years was just amazing and showed how very much he cared for others. This is what I will remember the most about this wonderful man.

[DavidDvorkin]

55. I voted for him both times, and I'll never stop being angry at America about the 1980 election.

[Marcus IM]

56. Your wish has come to fruition ...

[malaise]

58. Yes indeed

Oh Happy Day😀

[spanone]

57. Another Kick for Jimmy

59. Love him
