His grandson Jason tells Southern Living that it’s “the place that has given him the greatest support and it is the only place where he would go through this part of his life.” Jason continues, “That’s his home in every way, and he really cherished that time and that support.”
Jason, 49, a lawyer and politician, is the eldest son of Carter’s first born, Jack, 77, and the eldest of 22 grandchildren.
He adds, “There is no other place in the world that he would be at peace other than Plains.”
In his interview with Southern Living, Jason speaks of his grandad’s struggles since Rosalynn died. “After 77 years of marriage… I just think none of us really understand what it’s like for him right now.” He adds, “We have to embrace that fact, that there’s things about the spirit that you just can’t understand.”
