Adam's Grandfather, Wes, recently suffered a stroke and he is now in a nursing home in Texas. Having him in Texas has been much easier on all the family and it's great that we can visit him more often. A couple weeks ago we took Holton to meet his Great Grandfather. A side note - For those that don't know, Wes went to Oklahoma State as did my brother, Patrick. Being the true OSU supporter, Patrick bought Holton some OSU gear when he was first born. He is now set to watch any basketball game with both his “home” and his “away” onesie! Anyway, we made sure that Holton proudly wore his little OSU onsesie to visit Wes.
We were heading out to see Wes, but Holton was extremely fussy that day. He had been crying and fussing all morning. Needless to say, we were concerned about taking him into the nursing home. We get into Wes’ room and we are pretty much holding our breath. Would Holton cry? Would he scream? Would they kick us out?
Well, let me just say that we were completely shocked at how well he behaved. We put Holton on Wes’ lap and he just smiled, and cooed, and tried to carry on a conversation with him. We joked that he was talking about the OSU basketball season and Wes quickly replied that "there wasn’t much to talk about"! It was so precious and it made me think about my Grandfather who passed away last year. Holton truly enjoyed his time with Wes and we think Holton’s visit did Wes some good too!
