Much is made of my uncle’s legacy. Caroline is his legacy. Her tireless work on his legacy, safeguarding it, growing it, and then working herself round the clock her entire life for her country is his legacy. Both of her parents and her brother would be so proud of her, just as I am. She’s smart, kind, loving, caring, giving. She believes in public service. She’s a great human, mom, wife, sister, cousin, and friend. Today I honor her. I remember Uncle Jack, all he fought for, and all so many still fight for. He loved his country. He believed in it, and he served it in every way. May we all find ways to be of service to our country today, and in the future.
On this day in 1963, my uncle was killed by an assassin’s bullet. This day is forever seared into my heart and mind. Go gently today, as millions of people are working through their trauma. Millions of people are grieving things that happened years ago or decades ago, or just moments ago. Millions will never be the same again. Let’s start by acknowledging our own pain. Our own pain guides us to our own healing, which in turn can help heal others.
You learn very quickly that there is no handbook or rules to being First Lady. Technically, it’s not even an official position. And while there are spoken and unspoken expectations that provide some structure, the role is largely shaped by the passions and aspirations of the person holding it.
First Lady Rosalynn Carter understood that well.
Guided by her abiding faith and her commitment to service, Mrs. Carter used her platform in profoundly meaningful ways. Her groundbreaking work to combat the stigma faced by those struggling with their mental health brought light to so many suffering in silence. She advocated for better care for the elderly. She advanced women’s rights. And she remained a champion for those causes — and many others like building affordable housing for those in need and caring for our nation’s caregivers — in the more than four decades that followed.
When our family was in the White House, every so often, Rosalynn would join me for lunch, offering a few words of advice and always — always — a helping hand. She reminded me to make the role of First Lady my own, just like she did. I’ll always remain grateful for her support and her generosity.
Today, Barack and I join the world in celebrating the remarkable legacy of a First Lady, philanthropist, and advocate who dedicated her life to lifting up others. Her life is a reminder that no matter who we are, our legacies are best measured not in awards or accolades, but in the lives we touch. We send our thoughts and prayers to Jimmy and the entire Carter family during this difficult time.
Statement from former President Jimmy Carter on the passing of his beloved wife Rosalynn:
“Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished. She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”
What a statement from former President Carter, “Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.” It doesn’t get better than that.
And let’s not forget her groundbreaking work in the mental health and caretaking space. This is what a deeply meaningful and wildly authentic life looks like.
