For a time last year, Jimmy Carter felt his extraordinary life was effectively done.<br>
But thanks to his equally extraordinary marriage, he never felt alone.<br>
“There was one period of a few days that I thought I only had a couple weeks left of life,” Carter, 91, recalled Wednesday, sitting beside his wife, Rosalynn, on a couch at the Carter Center. Come July 7, they’ll have spent 70 years as husband and wife. But back when doctors discovered cancer in his liver and his brain late last summer, he explained, “We thought life was over for me. I think that having been together for 69 years obviously made it easier for us to weather that storm of emotions.”<br>
Easier, maybe. But not <em>easy,</em> as Rosalynn Carter, 88, made clear.<br>
“I didn’t know what I was going to do,” she said quietly. “That was … earthshaking.”<br>
