CARLIN'S EMOTIONAL VISIT WITH HER GRANDPARENTS!

[@caradixon9247]

I just love how supportive Evan is of Carlin's feelings. Every girl deserves a guy who supports her and loves her like Evan loves Carlin!!

[@suestephan3255]

What strikes me is how Gil & Kelly raised such wonderful loving children, children who love their grandparents & love on them and visit them and really care for them. Nice to give support to Mama Jane. They are blessed grandparents to have these 19 grandchildren & their spouses.💞❤️

[@koreensanders4281]

I just cried seeing the pain in Carlin about her papa. My heart breaks for her and all the Bates family.

[@kyms3093]

Tears flowing from my eyes after watching this week because I understand how Carlin feels when you have a dear loved one with alzheimers. All you can do is just soak up every moment and reflect on every memory of them and be there in the moment. Prayers for papa bill and your family. ❤

[@samithompson2599]

Same, instantly bawling when I see Carlin crying over them. Makes me think of my own Grandma who is 93 and showing signs of it. And how I have moved away from her and lived my life and she’s loved it for me too but then it kills me when she asks me when I’m moving back. I cry just like that after most phone calls or FaceTimes

[@patriciamurray4701]

I would love to see the pictures that Layla took with her camera❤

[@AmyQ97]

Such a sweet family. I just love watching y’all!

[@sammiesue3556]

So sweet of Layla to comment what a pretty outfit Jane had on. I love her little manners.

[@shellyfox863]

You had me sobbing. My mom had dementia. It is not easy to have a parent or grandparent not really know who you are. It's the kind of pain you really can never find words for. If you pay attention to the small details though you will see that deep down they still do remember. They just can't access it that well anymore. I remember visiting with my mom, and she sat with me thinking I was an old friend whose name she did not know and she used to tell me all about her talented daughter. She even embellished my accomplishments. Somewhere in there she knew. Your grandpa does too. A couple of days before her death, my mom and I had a unusually long conversation where she became lucid. Knew who I was one last time. Said she loved me. I have that now. It means everything.

[@janicedanner2659]

Same here my dad had Alzheimer's you just love on them and Carlin I love them , 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@NewMadge]

My mom had dementia too, and after we realized she had the disease, I cherished my time with her even more. I'm glad I made it a priority because she passed about 1 year after her diagnosis.

[@jharvey93]

What a blessing you had with your Mom that day. God blessed you with that.

[@debcarpenter8519]

You were very lucky to have her come back to you, even for one day. Such a gift!

[@carolkulczyk2209]

I love seeing Lawson helping Grandpa walk and reminding him of family names.

[@Lifewithkids409]

Personally loved that too! My mom had Lewy bodies dementia and she forgot all 6 of us kids and grandkids as well as my dad, her husband of 51 years. Lawson was so patient with him.

[@juliefeatch4820]

Yes I completely agree. Lawson and Evan are fantastic with Papa Bill. My mum had Alzheimer's and it was difficult to say the least. Treat them just the same. I just needed to watch my mum to keep her safe, in a way that wasn't too obvious . 😃Kind regards.

She had me crying too 😭

[@Littleangel_-jp4xb]

If you watch the very early Bates episodes, there were episodes of them being there as children. It's heartwarming to see it come full circle bringing their own children there. I really hope they can keep that property in the family for many more generations. It looks absolutely stunning and has so many memories. It's not something you see very often anymore in this country, sadly.

[@melaniea5265]

@@Littleangel_-jp4xb All I could think about when Carlin said Jane Jane didnt like her doing Layla's hair in the kitchen was the episode where Carlin was standing on the table doing decorations i think for July 4th and everyone kept telling her to get down because Jane Jane would be mad if she saw her.

I always cry when I have to say goodbye to my grandchildren. They live 4 hours away and we get to see them about once a month. We are so blessed. Family is everything. I love that you are teaching your children how to love their grandparents and the wonderful farm life!

[@brittmd3103]

Man this really made me miss my grandad. His memory was gone in the end and it was hard not being able to carry a current conversation. But I loved allowing him to talk and live in whatever memory he was experiencing. Cherish these moments!

Ahhhh Carlin crying at the end. I used to do the same. I always knew soon it would be the last time I’d get to see my grandad and would just leave heartbroken.

Okay…this one got me! My grandma passed away a year ago and this video reminded me the importance of spending time with your grandparent and making the most memories. I even got emotional sensing Carlin’s emotions. My heart goes out to you! ❤

[@tracehp1709]

Carlin, honey, you are just the sweetest thing. I'm proud of you for going to visit your grandparents and spending time with them. A lot of people wouldn't do what you guys do because they don't want to be around people when their memories start to go. I hope you and Evan realize what a gift you are to your grandparents. I could feel the love emanating from my computer screen...what an amazing family. I'm sitting here in tears right now...I wish I had a family like yours.

Their legacy & how your dad was raised has contributed to your Mom & Dad raised all of you kids! You have such an amazing loving family!!! I can relate to a grandparent not knowing remembering or realizing who you are because of a mental impairment. I encourage ya’ll (your immediate family, and the entire Bates clan) to spend as much time as possible with your grandparents you never know when Jesus will call them home. (Said with love) It’s fantastic that you’re taking your little ones to the farm and making memories of their own with their grandparents!!

Oh this both breaks my heart and fills me with such joy. Carlin, you Grandpa is so sweet and his heart knows you even if his mind can’t keep up. You are such a precious, loving granddaughter. And Evan, you are an AMAZING husband to Carlin. The willingness with which you were ready to turn around to help her feel better was precious! Love your family!

[@patriotmama]

Treasure every single minute that you have with the Great Grandparents and your Parents. My Grandparents are long gone, but I still have treasured memories and my kids (who are grown and have kids of their own) still remember my Grandpa. Time is so sacred when it comes to family and it is so so sweet to see you and Carlin as well as Lawson and Tiffany treasure these days spent with them as well. So many young people your age don't have the time to spend w/Grandparents or even their parents anymore b/c their lives are wrapped up in their kids. It's sad. There is a lot to be said for families. Days gone by, families lived close together and took care of each other, learned from each other and loved one another so deeply. Sometimes I long for those days. Your sweet babies are so cute and just so love the farm. Great to see! Oh Carlin, my heart goes out to you. I know exactly what is going on with you. Evan, you are the best husband ever. I know you would have turned that car around if Carlin wanted you to. So so precious.

[@SerenaSlade]

Carlin, visit often and love them as hard as you can sweetheart. I know all too well what you're feeling. My grandparents house was always my feel good runaway place. My granddaddy lived with Alzheimer's for 13 years before it finally took him from us. I was newly married, in nursing school, hadn't been able to go spend time with him and my nana for a couple months and felt so much greif and resent. I don't think I ever cried harder than I did at his funeral. Now I'm watching my daddy start down the same road and I didn't think anything could hurt more. You are giving your papa, your grandma, Layla and Zade such a precious gift by going down there regularly. If you can get a weekend alone with them- just you and a few of your siblings- I think you would be in absolute heaven. Your tears leaving and looking back at pictures of the kids with your papa are pure and sweet. He does know you sweetheart, and sharing your babies with him is one of the best gifts you can ever give him and both kids. It is a love they will never forget. Let your heart stay tender and your eyes and faith remain with faith like a child. Evan, thank you for loving all of them and knowing what a special time this is.

[@rosannayoder5722]

I'm weeping now.. Carlin, I feel in part the place your heart is at. It's such a mix of everything- and wanting to preciously treasure every single moment not knowing how much longer you will have and also knowing that you will NEVER regret the time, finances, and energy to be there! I feel it so deeply with you! You want to treasure each moment but you also almost feel that you're losing that moment as well. ...two of my brothers passed away 3 weeks apart in June 2023. The one was my closest sibling and passed of cancer at 33yrs old. Every time I left the hospital to fly back home I didn't know if I'd see him again this side of eternity... it all goes so deep. You are LOVED!!❤

[@lindseyrezac1055]

Awww I cried and cried when Carlin broke down in the car and Evan was so so supportive and willing to go back so she could be at ease. I wish I could have just gave Carlin the biggest hug. My grandparents raised me along with my mom and those child hood memories with them I will always cherish and remember and thank God for them. Carlin you go back as much as you can time goes by so quick. You and Evan are such special people and patient with your grandparents. This video hit home and I pray for your grandparents and your family and just hope you guys get more and more time spent with them. They are precious souls. Love you guys. ❤️

[@Lyndaragirl78]

Carlin, I just wanted to tell you that I feel your pain with your grandfather’s dementia. I’ve had several family members (on both sides. - husband’s and my own) that have/ had it. It’s sooo hard because you see the person you love and they don’t see or recognize you. I thought that he looked like he was in a far away land a couple of times. So be there for Mama Jane because she needs ALL the love and support you can give her. It was so nice of you, Evan, Layla and Zade to see them, and also that Lawson and Tiffany were there too. Make time for them and that is something that you will NEVER regret doing. Making memories with the ones you love is always so special. May God bless all of you. 💕💕💕

[@nmikloiche]

My best friend was and is my great grandma. She had plenty of grandkids, but she and I had a special connection. I adored her, and she me. Eventually I moved away. My small hometown had little to offer a young adult, and my young adult life needed to be lived. She told me to go and live a great big life. I know she 100% meant it, but I know she also wished for me to stay, but she would never hold me back. I came home as much as I could to see her. The last visit, well, we both somehow knew it would be our last goodbye. She wasn’t sick, but we both knew that this was our last time together on this earth. I cried watching Carlin wrestle with this complexity of this giant in her life slipping away from her. It’s crushing and there just is no stopping it. Endure the best you can.
