Mommy and me

We had a great time at the beach. The ocean is such a big swimming pool, I loved it and cant wait to go back.

Down the lazy river we go, that was fun!

Me and gammy went around and around in the lazy river. I think I could get use the trips to the beach!

Wow, look at that big pool !!!!

Myrtle Beach 2010

We went to the beach to meet up with mommys friends from Ohio. They met mommy and gammy in 1992 standing in line to meet Richard Petty. It would be his last year of Nascar so they wanted to be there. Mommy was only 11 years old then.

Well here I am at the beach, almost 1 year from the first time I went. This time I got to get in the ocean and really feel the sand. That was fun, I even slapped mommy with a big handful of sand. She looked like she went to one of those fancy spas.

Cherokee Prayer for Papaw

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamonds glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet white doves in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

Ray Loerch Mackey November 20,1925-July 30, 2010

Well my Papaw now has lung cancer to go along with all his other problems. They say God won't put too much on you that you can't handle. Well I think Kidney failure, Heart failure, Colon cancer and now Lung cancer is an awful lot. But he is still with us, just a little weak and now falls alot, sort of like me. I still don't walk, but I do push my walker around. I move fast too, Gammy can't let me alone one minute.

June Zoo Trip

We had a great time at the zoo. In one picture the Gorilla came up to the window and copped a pose for our picture. You can tell in my face I was surprised !!!!

63 rd. Anniversary

Dad made it till their anniversary and that is great.

Gammy said I will be the only man in her life. She's given up on finding one that will love her forever and not take time to think. Some people are so cruel, but she will get by without one.

Pool Fun

These are cut shots of me today at my Mamaws pool. I think I may be a dentist when I grow up, I was checking out Gammys teeth real good!

Fathers Day 2010

What do you get for the father that has everything? Well this fathers day I wish I could give my heart to dad along with a kidney for good measure. But I can't and there are things in life we just can't change. So far dad has survived three wars, five wildass kids, 30 years in the Army and four by-pass surgery. Now he's trying to survive heart failure, kidney failure and colon cancer. He's a tough old bird who so far has outlasted every family member he's had by 43 years. Every hospital stay I learn a little more about him. Did you know when he retired as Command Sargent Major Ray L. Mackey he was the 82nd higest ranking man in the Army? Me either, but I've set and listened to so many great stories he would tell me, he's a walking history book. It's like that song by Montgomery Gentery, I'd set cross legged on the floor while he would tell his stories of the war. But we can't change dads outcome, only keep our memories and I have enough to write a book! I'm the one that spends the most time with him, even when I was young I knew I was his favorite son. That is what I feel like, I would watch sports with him and go to races with him. I had three brothers growing up, but I was the one that hung out with him. So if God could just do one thing for me, let me have one more Fathers day with my dad.See More
