Carter’s grandson always remembers the most critical advice his grandfather has given him.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s health has not been good lately. His grandson has been by his side through it all and has kept the public up to date with what is going on with his beloved grandfather.

In February this year, The Carter Center shared on Twitter that Carter had recently had a series of short hospital stays. He also shared what was next for his grandfather during his remaining days.

The statement shared on Twitter said that after being in the hospital a few times, Carter had decided that rather than being in a hospital, he would like to spend his remaining time on earth at home with his family. He will be receiving hospice care from his home. The Carter family then asked for privacy as they supported Carter through this journey.

What Did Carter’s Grandson Say About His Grandfather?

After the statement on Twitter on February 18 this year, Carter’s grandson, 24-year-old Hugo Wentzel, has given a further update about his grandfather. Wentzel revealed that he and his family remained close after he was eliminated from “Claim to Fame” as they focused on Carter and his health.

Wentzel has now shared that people outside the close family are no longer allowed to visit with Carter. This comes amid strict COVID regulations surrounding Carter. The immediate family is becoming closer because of the diagnosis.

Wentzel also shared that his mother, Amy, has spent much time caring for her father during this difficult time. Apart from being one of the only people allowed to visit Carter, Wentzel has shared what his grandfather means to him.

What Advice Did Carter Give His Grandson?

Wentzel affectionately calls Carter “Papa” and says he has shared a wonderful life with the former president. He once gushed:

“He’s been an amazing grandpa. He’s an amazing person. I absolutely love him. Just from what he’s done as a family man, I’ve had great experiences. Growing up, he’s been a great influence, and at this point, we’re just taking care of him, expressing love, as he gets older.”
