Former President Jimmy Carter made history on Tuesday when he became the first living President to reach their 100th birthday.
For the last year, President Carter has been living in hospice care in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, the same place where his humble beginnings as a peanut farmer eventually set him on a path to the White House.
The former president is widely revered for his championing of human rights and brokering the Camp David Accords in 1978 between Egypt and Israel. President Carter also established the Department of Education and the Department of Energy.
But it's President Carter's post-presidential humanitarian efforts alongside his lifelong partner and late wife, Rosalynn, that most people remember the best, particularly their 40 years of volunteering with Habitat For Humanity.
President Carter was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts.
Rosalynn Carter's funeral in their hometown in February 2023 was the former president's last public appearance.
Jason Carter, Jimmy Carter's grandson and the Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Carter Center, recently told ABC News that his grandfather is "very physically diminished, as you might expect, but he is still smiling, he is still engaging, and ... paying attention to things around the world."
More specifically, President Carter is paying attention to the 2024 election and is willing himself to live long enough to cast the final vote of his life for the first Black woman President.
Happy 100th, Jimmy Carter!
