Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter’s love storywas truly one for the ages.

The future first lady gradually developed a close friendship with Jimmy’s sister as she grew up.

Then, when Rosalynn was 17, she went out on her first date with a 20-year-old Jimmy.

The happy couple remained by each other’s sides until the former first lady passed away in 2023.

“But when I see you I fall in love with you all over again.
