I think every memory I have of and with Don is positive. Growing up, I always remember being SO excited when the 'Keasler clan' went to go see Don and Marion. Trips were full of delicious food, great hugs, classic music, trying on platform shoes and standing in amazement at the infamous boot collection. Gathering around Granny Annie's kitchen table eating KFC, swinging on the front porch and rummaging through her own "thrift shop" is definitely up there too! More recently (over the last few years), Dad, Nathan and I made a somewhat unannounced visit to see Don and Marion....needless to say, they welcomed us with open arms! We spent our time sitting on the front porch, drinking Jones soda, eating the best NY style pizza Dallas has ever seen and talking about life. I remember leaving that trip hoping to, one day, experience the beauty of life that Don has.
Although these are beautiful experiences, my most cherished memory is always feeling so loved by both Don and Marion. Experiencing such genuine, loving relationships is something that the soul never forgets.
With love, Melissa
