We were sad to hear that President Carter passed away last weekend. It made us automatically think back to the time we got to see him at a local bookstore. Since there were so many people, he wasn't able to have long conversations with people. However, he took the time to acknowledge Katie, who loved anything related to presidents. She was a little shy, but she did say hi to him. When we left, she was very proud to have an autographed copy of his book.
Awhile after that experience, she wrote President Carter a letter. He wasn't the first president she had written a letter to, but it was by far the most personal letter she received in return. It meant a lot to her to be acknowledged by such a kind man.
There wasn't time to take photos with the president, but we were able to get one of just him as we got close.
Thank you, President Carter, for being you.
