I'm feeling a little bad about Jimmy Carter's passing tonight. Various members of my family had met or knew Jimmy (with or without Rosalyn), and all considered him a hardworking, stand up man of God. My mother's cousin & his wife lived next door to the Carters when stationed at San Diego (if you went to George Mason, you probably heard of him, or at least his name). Both my mother and I worked Advance for Jimmy, and were invited to the White House for meet & greets. My daddy & brother and several cousins met him on the campaign trail.
Jimmy was a good man who I hope history treats better than the 1980s press did. I pray that he has been reunited with his Rosalyn, and that they're enjoying heaven together.
PS: When Rosalyn died last year, when everyone was saying that Jimmy wouldn't last long without her, I said, "No way! He's going to make it to 100!"
