The first three paragraphs:
Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, are “still holding hands” as they enter their “final chapter” together at home in Plains, Georgia, the former US president’s grandson said.
“It’s clear we’re in the final chapter,” Josh Carter said of his grandparents, the first couple between 1977 and 1981, in an interview published by People magazine on Saturday.
Jimmy Carter, 98, entered hospice care in February, seeking “to spend his remaining time at home with his family”. In May, the Carter family announced that Rosalynn Carter, 96, has dementia.

Speaking to People, Josh Carter said it’s “gotta be hard” for the former president to see his wife struggle with dementia, “but on the other hand, they’ve experienced everything that you can together.
Now, Josh Carter told People, “Odds are I’m gonna lose my grandfather before my grandmother.

Thank you, good bot. We appreciate you.
Shucks, I thought he would out live Henry Kissinger. Still, quite a long time in hospice. Enough time to see a corrupt president get charged, even if it wasn’t the one that he followed. (Well, followed after his VP pardoned him and took over for a bit.)
