Love That Comes Home...

​

John and Helen Bergen have shared a lifetime together — 73 years of marriage, four children, sixteen grandchildren, and eighteen great-grandchildren. A family tree rooted deeply in love, faith, and togetherness.

For many years, John and Helen made their home in the Garden Condominiums here at Leamington Mennonite Home. As their needs changed, they moved together into our Assisted Living Retirement building, continuing their journey side by side, supported by community.

Helen spent three long months in hospital following shoulder surgery. Though John was able to visit her during her stay, the separation was not easy. Home, for them, has always meant being together.

This photo doesn’t need a caption as it captures the moment Helen returned, reunited with John after those months apart. A moment that truly says a thousand words.

When asked about that day, Helen smiled and said it was one of the best days of her life. Right up there with the day she married John… the births of her children… her grandchildren… and her great-grandchildren.
“It was so good to be back at home,” she said.

At Leamington Mennonite Home, love lives here, in lifelong partnerships, in family connections, in moments of reunion, and in the community that surrounds the residents with care and compassion every day.

This February, as we celebrate Valentine’s Day, we invite you to reflect on love like John and Helen’s, the kind of love that endures, supports, and comes home.
