I think one of the healthiest things I've learned is that you should let people reintroduce themselves to you, even your closest friends. Let them reintroduce their soul. Familiarity shouldn’t be a cage. Love them for who they are now, not just who they were then.
In Glennville, Georgia, 93-year-old Clarence Purvis continues a love story that began more than seven decades ago. Nearly every day since his wife Carolyn passed in 2013, Clarence has brought her framed photo to lunch at their favorite diner—placing it in the seat across from him, just like old times.
The couple married in 1949 and shared 63 years of meals, memories, and devotion. For Clarence, these daily visits aren’t about mourning; they’re about keeping a promise. “She was always with me when we were livin’. She’s with me now,” he says. What began as a habit is now a quiet, beautiful tribute to a life lived side by side.
Georgia Tech proudly introduces the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy, housed in the newly renovated D.M. Smith Building.
Honoring the Carters’ lifelong legacy of ethical leadership and public service, the School will inspire future changemakers in the reimagined D.M. Smith Building, transformed for greater accessibility, functionality, and sustainability. In addition, a dogwood tree was planted in their honor to commemorate their impact.
Before James Carter Jr. was the 39th U.S. President, he attended Georgia Tech for one year before moving on to the U.S. Naval Academy. 🐝
