An odd thought came to mind with Jimmy Carter's passing. Once Biden leaves office, he will be the oldest ex-President, but Clinton & Bush are not far behind, & Trump is older than them both. I'm not wishing ill on anyone, but soon (5 - 10 yrs), we may be down to just 1 living ex-president. Scary

While I didn't experience his presidency, I have seen the humility & heart he embodied within his acts of public service. May that & his grand love for his wife be part of his legacy. Now they are together again. May that love be forever more. Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter.
