So this was over six months ago and Jimmy is still with us! Last week, he and Rosalyn celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary.
The 39th president is 98 and has been in home hospice care since February. The former first lady is 95 and has dementia. The Carter family has not offered details of either Jimmy or Rosalynn Carter’s condition but has said they both have enjoyed time with each other and a stream of family members, along with occasional visits from close friends, in recent months.
"As we have looked back at their legacy, it has been really wonderful to see the outpouring of support and respect and love," grandson Jason Carter said recently. "That word love is really the one that defines certainly their personal relationship, but also the way they approach this world."
Beyond their longevity, both Carters credit their long marriage to open communication and their shared Christian faith.
"Every day there needs to be reconciliation," the former president said in 2021. "We don’t go to sleep with some remaining differences between us."

Happy anniversary to the Carters. I'm sure they are receiving the best care available. When I had to start my dad on hospice care, his condition actually improved and he was taken off after six months.
