I don't want to lose President Carter... :-(

[ChisolmTrailDem]

I just saw a short report on Pres. Carter teaching Sunday school and the reality hit me: we're about to lose this great man!

I don't want to lose him!

1. Me either I live like 2 or 3 counties down from him and haven't met him yet.

2. Appreciate everyday we have him

He might live another 10 years. Nobody knows when our time is up. He is very religious and leaves it up to God. We should just enjoy him until the end.

3. I don't want to lose him either.

[Hortensis]

4. Me too. It will truly be a loss.

5. He might have a couple of years yet

he isn't on his deathbed. We're very very fortunate he has lived this long.

10. He has melanoma.

Survival rate is not long. And his has metastasized to his brain.

So outlook is not good.

I am sad, too. But he is handling it with utter grace.

He is a great person.

6. Nor do I. But Death comes for all of us...

Some sooner, some later.

So cherish him while he's here and honor and respect his memory when he's gone.

As long as we remember him, he will live inside us.

7. Me either... and especially not until he receives the accolades he so richly deserves...

I simply don't understand why so many Dems have enabled him to be so demonized and distanced from current policy.

8. President Carter is a truly great human being

I will be praying for him

9. Everyone dies, and it's good to be reminded once in awhile.

None of us lives for ever. Not the good ones, not the bad ones; the people you see every day will all die.
