Jimmy Carter’s grandson gave a speech at The 28th Rosalynn Carter Georgia Mental Health Forum, where he provided an update on the former president's health.
Jimmy Carter’s grandson provided an update on the former president’s health after he spent more than a year in hospice care, reconciling that his life is 'coming to the end.' Jason Carter, 48, addressed a mental health forum at the Carter Center in Georgia on Tuesday, where he said his grandfather was 'doing ok' and praised the 'outpouring of love' his family has received after the passing of the former first lady Rosalynn Carter, the forum’s namesake.
During his remarks, Jason Carter remembered his grandmother and the impact her passing had on the family — including the former president. 'My grandmother’s passing was a difficult moment for all of us, including my grandfather,' Jason Carter added. He also thanked the multitude of commemorations his family had received.
The outpouring of love and support that we, as a family, received from people in this room and from the rest of the world was so remarkable and meaningful to us. And it really turned that whole process into a celebration,' the grandson continued. Jason Carter also described a conversation he shared with the former president weeks ago as they watched the MLB.
said, ‘Papa, you know, I can’t- people ask me how you’re doing, and I say I don’t know.’ And he said, ‘Well, I don’t know myself,’' the grandson recounted. 'So he is still there.' Jimmy Carter is the oldest living president in history. George H.W. Bush, the previous holder of that record, passed away in 2018. He was 94 at the time. The former Democratic president has survived brain cancer, liver cancer and various medical procedures.
