RIP Rosalynn Carter

[garrow]

OK, I was basing my definition of "First Widow" on the wives of the presidents who had died in office.

The story of Cleveland's wife is pretty amazing, and would be a huge scandal today.

I was quite surprised to realize Cleveland lived for 9 years after leaving office; he was famously seriously ill during his second term and had to undergo primitive and not fully effective cancer surgery, and I had the impression he had died shortly after leaving office, but noooooo.

Jimmy actually started hospice care earlier this year. I was genuinely surprised that Rosalynn pashed on before he did.

Carter looks frail. It sure looks like death would be a relief for him at this point. Go join Rosalynn in that imaginary kingdom in the sky.

But that's not a bad thing at all. Remember that.
Jimmy probably would want Rosalynn to live longer, anyway.
