Thank you Death. You got it right this time. Approaching 100, Jimmy Carter is still here reminding us of love and hope. At the same time, you fought to finally pry life from Henry Kissinger’s cold hands. Yes, you approached Carter a few years back with cancer, but you ultimately backed away. When it was time for him to live in hospice, he did so quietly and with grace.
And where was Henry Kissinger, who sent millions to you? At 100, still convinced that he was always right, he was on a trip to China demanding to still be relevant in the world of conquest and power.
So let’s enjoy what time we have left with Jimmy Carter. You left a good man among us.
You couldn't have put it better, Joan. And, equally good, you are here, too.
ReplyDeleteWell said!
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree! Camille
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanie. With quiet dignity and fortitude for helping those in need, the Carters have both been inspirational figures. Little by little their stature will grow in time.
