I love seeing Lawson helping Grandpa walk and reminding him of family names.
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.
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.
If anything else, the Bates kids are very well mannered and respectful ❤❤
@@traciwilliams3900the parents must’ve been raising em well
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!!
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.
Same here my dad had Alzheimer's you just love on them and Carlin I love them , 😊😊😊❤❤❤
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.
What a blessing you had with your Mom that day. God blessed you with that.
You were very lucky to have her come back to you, even for one day. Such a gift!
So sweet of Layla to comment what a pretty outfit Jane had on. I love her little manners.
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. ❤
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
I would love to see the pictures that Layla took with her camera❤
Such a sweet family. I just love watching y’all!
I just cried seeing the pain in Carlin about her papa. My heart breaks for her and all the Bates family.
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.💞❤️
At 76 years old , my tears flowed with yours remembering my great grandma and grandparents on both sides..I was so blessed to have those times...Mountains , wood cook stove with ham & egg frying , homemade bread and farm butter..Of course , lots of hugs & kisses..Treasured memories..❤
Sounds so wonderful ❤
I’m not crying 😭 you’re crying.
Crying watching this . I was very fortunate to spend a lot of time with my great grandparents plus alot of time with both sets of grandparents ♥️ Cherish the memories . They will always be in your heart 💗
Cried my eyes out with Carlin❤️ I could feel her visualizing herself as a child there. I pray you get many more visits soon.
She had me crying too 😭
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.
@@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.
@@melaniea5265 I think it has more to do with hair near the food, but ok
@@melaniea5265 I don't remember that one though, about the decorations. I didn't watch all the episodes
Evan, that was so kind of you to offer going back to the farm. Very considerate and thoughtful
I bawled my eyes out at the end with Carlin. By 35, I had lost all of my grandparents and my daddy. Life goes too quickly, and it changes in the blink of an eye. Cherish every memory you can. There's truly nothing better than family. ❤️
Time goes by too fast. I wish grandparents could live forever. They are the best memories of our childhood. Go visit as much as possible. It’s OK to shed the tears because we love them so much.
You couldn’t have said it better… I definitely wish my grandparents could’ve lived forever.♥️😭♥️
Cherish the memories with your precious grandparents! They are gems!
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.
So sweet to see so much love and respect given to your grandparents. You are special people!
I think Layla is my favorite kid I've never met she's so smart sassy and cute
How precious and beautiful! I am a grandmother to soon to be 7 grandchildren and I hope and pray my grandchildren love and cherish me as you do your grandparents Carlin! 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!
Please tell Carlin to never cry like that again, it killed me! What precious memories you all will always have to cherish ❤
I am here crying too as I have followed them for close to 10 years and didn't know he was having memory problems.
Same!!
Please...
I’m crying too. I’m a great grandmother and I hope my little ones will love me and have sweet memories like this.
I was over here in full effect 😭😭😭😭
Her tears were real … whew . Ok I’m back together again.
Y’all gave a reminder to bask in the moment . Even if your loved one doesn’t remember you. ❤
Holy cow, that made me cry. Just remembering my grandparents and the great memories.
I cried right along with Carlin at the end. 😭
You guy’s marriage is definite goals. And Zade when he said “dada” about the drone… heart.melt.
Everything about y’all is just precious. You can tell your home, marriage, and family is full of love
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.
Grandparents are the best, and the memories live on forever, as if they were just yesterday❤
It's so hard seeing loved ones not recognising you. You're doing the right thing is visiting your grandparents often. My dearest mum passed away from alzheimers 16 years ago. Keep on visiting and making memories with your children. Evan, bless you for offering to turn around and go back. You're so caring and loving. Memories never leave you. God bless and Thanks for your videos ❤
I cried with you Carlin, I'm a retired careiver and I absolutely loved helping the elderly with their health conditions 😊💙🙏
Oh Carlin broke my heart getting so upset. I know it's so hard for her. Praying for Papa Bill and Jane Jane. Please make sure you spend as much time as you can. Sending you all lots of love ❤
Zade is a mini Evan!!😊
Carlin, enjoy every minute of your grandparents. I know visits can be so hard but they're the best ones. I lost my grandmother to dementia a couple months ago. I was there to take care of her over the years & til her last breath & wouldn't change any of it. Many times she didn't know me and every day was a new day. It was so hard seeing her like this but I wouldn't have missed it for anything. I just wanted to give you big 🤗 HUGS!! ❤
Carlin, cherish those moments. My mom is 89 and is currently on hospice. She has dementia and her ability to remember dates and people has gone down quite a bit. Those photos will be a way to keep those sweet moments alive.
Oh how i cried when Carlin cried. Time is a thief and needs to be cherished. I'm 56 years old and this video reminded me.
Carlin, I am boo hooing along with you! Your grandparents are the best!!❤❤
Layla is absolutely adorable 🥰
Just cried my eyes out missing my grandparents and the flood of memories of growing up experiencing life on their farm and being together. I cried even harder with you, Carlin, knowing exactly what you meant…wanting to stay and be there with them just a little longer. Time is so fleeting. But our love for them and precious memories remain. We love ya’ll ❤
I know how Carlin felt. I cried right along with her.
I just wanna say, I’m so proud of Carlin, I went through that with my dad not knowing who I was when I saw him and it’s so hard. It hurts a lot. Stay strong. Keep making those memories.
It’s wonderful to see how cherished your grandparents are❤️❤️❤️
I was crying with you Carlin. When I have grandchildren one day I want my home to be a special place for them also.
Jane is the cutest thing. Enjoy every second with those two ❤❤
Aww Carlin! Always special times at the farm. Love your grandparents.
I just love the way you all visit your grandparents ❤️
Oh Carlin 😢As a grandmother myself, I saw me in your video. I pray that I have instilled in my two girls the importance of family and what it means to gather. When my time here on earth is gone I want them to remember the good times and best memories of being with family. To this day, I remember what I did visiting my parents/in-laws in our early married years. God Bless you and continue to visit your grandparents as much as you can. Many hugs your way. 🤗❤
It's a blessing that your kids get to meet your grandparents ❤
Carlin, try singing old songs that he loved. Sometimes it brings out memories for them!
I cried along with you. I am a grandmother of 7, 5 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. I know they love me but watching you made me feel so happy. Love them while you can, time flies.
Carlin, I love how (all of y’all, including Lawson and Tiffany) Showed so much love and respect & honoring for your grand parents. It just speaks volumes. 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!! I pray that ya’ll have a lot more time to make memories with your grandparents. I love your whole family!
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.
I cried. I lost my grandparents a while ago and my son was 2 months when my grandfather passed away. The last thing my Popie said where is that beautiful baby boy. Missed them both very much. Cherish every moment!!!❤❤❤❤❤🤣🤗
Carlins got my tears flowing too!! My grandparents are in their mid & late 80's too so I've been feeling the same lately!! 🥹🙏
That was the sweetest thing when Lawson brushed his grandfather’s air back
Oh my goodness Carlin!!! You had me in tears for you … I get it … it’s heartbreaking when a grandparent & in my case a parent no longer remembers you … but you had the best time being able to take your babies and make memories with them @ the farm… hugs to you !
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. 💕💕💕
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!!❤
OMG......this is such a beautiful video. The love in this family......I have no words to describe it. I cried so much. I am 68, and our grandparents were our neighbors so I grew up with them. I always said I had two set of parents...lol They had a farm with horses, cows, pigs, chicken, a cat and a dog. I loved them so much. ❤❤❤❤ thank you for this video, again beautiful. You are so special. I love you so much.
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.
This was so sweet to watch. All of my grandparents have passed and I miss them dearly everyday. Treasure these sweet memories and videos forever. You had me in tears at the end. ❤
My grandma was getting forgetful when she was in her 90s, so it is hard, but I'm so thankful for all the memories I have❤
I could watch these children all day...they are beyond adorable! 🥰
I lost my final grandparent when I was 16 and even though it’s been over 17 years I’ve never fully recovered. I loved watching this and living through you spending time with your grandparents. Thank you for sharing Jane and Bill with us 💛
Carlin, you just about brought me to tears seeing your tears. You're such a sweetheart. Evan you are such a wonderful person.. the way you love and care so much for your family always making sure everything is as it should be. you're a gem! You both are doing such a wonderful job raising your children and it shows.Also, watching them Express their love to their grandparents at such a young age the way they did was beautiful! My prayers for Papa Bates, & Mama Jane. God bless you all.🥰❤️
I love how supportive Evan was about going back to the farm. Grandparents are the best treasure. Mine are all in heaven and sadly we just have my dad left and our kids treasure him so much. I totally cried with y'all. Good Bless you guys!
Oh, Carlin, treasure these moments. I cried with you. God bless you all ❤
Carlin, you and Evan and all your family are absolutely wonderful to visit your grandparents and make special memories. I love all of you , and keep making special memories with them. God Bless You.
Bless little sweet Carlin’s heart, it is so hard watching someone with this illness. But, I believe deep down they know us in their heart. Sweetest video ever! Memories forever! Hugs from another Nana in South Carolina!❤
I'm crying with you Carlin its hard to see him this way...prayers for better days for Papa Bill and Jane
😭 I was raised by my grandparents and this has got me in ALOT of tears! I miss them!
I’m watching you cry and crying with you! Bless your heart!!! I wish I could give you a hug!
Your kiddos are the cutest and sweetest little things!!! I would love to hug them too!!
Evan is so sweet and caring of you and your kids. Such a good husband and dad!
Bless your sweet heart Carlin! Hold on to all the precious memories you have! Your family is so sweet! Blessings! ❤
I have so many memories with my grandparents as I was growing until they passed away. You will always cherish the memories. The farm looks so peaceful and relaxing.
Oh my heart. I love how all the Bates kids love to visit their grandparents farm. And they all do it so often.
Carlin you are a gift. A true gift to them. I cried with you sweetheart 😢
And Evan so sweet to offer to go back. I just love you guys so much. ❤
Loved this video. Oh my, the kids get more adorable every time I see this. These are memories that are the most precious. ❤
I still Love, Adore &. Miss my 4 Grandparents.😥 Cherish the precious memories, &. moments with them.🥰
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.
Ohhhh sweet Carlin. You're breaking my heart. Time is a thief. Enjoy every moment with everyone your care about. What a sweet loving family you are.
Always love getting to see Mama Jane and Papa Bill♥️ They are both so sweet 🙏🏽
Oh so wonderfully precious❣️What you have captured on video will bring all these priceless moments back to watch over and over-
What a treasured legacy you have been born into and what deep love binds you all♥️
So glad that you all go to visit your grandparents. My grandfather had a stroke and he didn't know me or say my name after the stroke. Treasure all of those fun and special memories.
I just cried my eyes out right along with you, Carlin.😢 Grandparents are so special & those memories stay with you forever! I was 41 when I had my first & only daughter, & I am so thankful that my baby girl got 3 years to spend with my grandma before she passed 3 years ago. Even though she was so young she still remembers her & talks about her.
Honestly wish my grandparents were still alive I never knew my grandfather and my grandmother passed when I was 11
Same.
As you get older you become aware that time with love ones is limited and precious
I lost my grandfather to ALS when I was 11 (so, 39 years ago) and the family farm was sold when I was 12. We lived in the same town and saw my grandparents often, but the memories from the farm and time spent with my grandfather will always be in my heart. I miss him deeply as he was the one who taught me to fish, love the Chicago Cubs, and appreciate nature.
Go Cubs Go!!!!
You share them as much as possible as I have none left that really made me cry me and my husband. We had three kids all adults eight grandkids and two great grandbabies. I am a widow. It’s been six years for me cherish every moment. I love watching you guys see you and your next video. Have a blessed Saturday night.❤❤❤❤
It is so hard to see your grandparents get older and sometimes forget you. The one thing he will never forget is the love he feels and Jesus. Just hold on to the memories. ❤❤
Quinn GF peanut butter pretzels are “A”mazing!! There are Maple Butter too that are even better! Love Thrive
Oh Carlin, I cried with you. How hard that must be. Sending big hug to you.
Such precious moments! Prayers and hugs
Oh Carlin! I can totally relate. My grandpa is 93 and he doesn't remember much. Cherish these times. As my grandma aged she said she enjoyed the smaller groups where she could really visit with us rather than the larger groups. Take lots of pictures!
Lawson has such patience with Poppa
That was the sweetest! Cherish every moment! ♥️🥹
The way lawson said "ill get it love" omggg :3 I'm sooo happy he found someone!! And he's gonna be a dad! So crazy how I used to watch when they were all single! ♥ We basically watched them grow up!
I'M WRITING IN ALL CAPS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!!!!!
Will you please let Papa Bill and Mama Jane know that they are fill in grandparents for many other people than just their own family? I never had any grandparents who loved me because they had their favorites and unfortunately I wasn't one of them. I never knew what it was like to have the love of a grandparent until I saw how Papa Bill and Mama Jane interacted with their grandbabies and now great grandbabies. There are so many others who are in my same situation and think of these two beautiful precious and Godly individuals as their own Papa and Mama. Please let them know what a blessing they are and how we pray for and love them.
Oh my goodness….what a tear-jerker!
Made me cry..... So very sweet....God Bless them....
He knows in his ♥️ heart. He knows. 🙏🏻
How precious and beautiful! I’m was crying with you !
OMG KHLOE wins the best giggle award!! She cracks me up! Love seeing the cousins together too!
The visit to the grandparents was so heartwarming to watch...so blessed!
Made me cry . Treasured memories x
Thanks for sharing your precious grandparents! ❤ you guys are the sweetest too!
Favorite vlog! I absolutely love seeing all of you with Papa Bill and Jane Jane! These are sweet days. Everyone loves your grandparents. Praying for them!
Wow, I love the realness and love for your grandparents.
This episode is so special, I’m crying with you Carlin. I never knew grandparents so treasure the moments.
Thank you for sharing. I watched the Bates Family grow up. I always loved seeing your grandparents. It is very hard when our elders get older and start to forget who we are. Change is hard. Glad you are making memories with your kids at the farm. ❤ Hugs to you Carlin as I went through this with my mom and my husband.
