A Visit to Great Great Grandma Helen Feek

Today, was a special day!  We had lots of family things planned, but the most important thing we done, was to go see Great Grandpa Feek's mom, or Mckenzie's Great Great Grandma!  She lives at the AC Home in Sabetha after suffering a stroke last year.  She will be 97 yrs old this year!  It really meant a lot to her to see this little guy. She went on and on about his hair and how he shared the same name as her son.  It was a nice visit and we will be sure to go back and let her see him again.  She said when we left that she was sure she might not remember his name, but she was going to call him Little Johnny!  I myself am really glad that my kids have had the opportunity to get to know my grandma and have had their grandparents around to talk to during their growing up.  I wasn't as lucky and as I lost my grandpa Harvey when I was very young and can only remember little things.  My grandma Harvey, Grandpa Feek and Uncle Gary Feek all died very close to one another when I was in Elementary school, while I did get to spend time with them and have many memories of them, I am saddened that they weren't around longer in my life.  There is just something special about those bonds with grandparents that can never be replaced and always seem to mean more the older I get.  Remembering you all at this time with fond memories.  We miss you and while you are gone, you will never be forgotten!
