Everytime we are home my mom makes it a point to bring Carty up to the Spring Valley Nursing home to visit her mom, my grandma, Carter's great Noonie Jean. Carter loves going to visit there and is really patient and kind to the elderly people there. He especially likes to give Noonie Jean kisses and help push her wheel chair around. Although, Noonie doesn't remember Carter's visits or really fully understand who he is, I know it is important to my mom that Carter gets to know her and hopefully will have some recollection of her when he is older. Our Noonie Jean was the very best grandmother back when we were children. She and my papa Lester were the kindest, most generous and loving people on this earth. They would give the shirts of their back for anyone. It makes me sad to think that my boys will never get to meet my papa Lester and won't have much of a memorable relationship with my Noonie, but we do what we can. And for now, all we can do is continue to bring Carty up for his visits and hopefully Gavin soon too! I know you can't read this Noonie, but hopefully my mom Linda will pass this along to you. I love you and although I don't see you as often as I should....you will always have a very special place in my heart and each day I aspire to be such a very good and happy peson just like you were!
