616 – Remembering Kenny

A year ago, Kenny died.
Over the year, there were random moments of sadness mixed with wonderings of what he experienced in his last few years.
At times I feel regret for my lack of desire to spend time with him when he was here.
Other times, I search my mind for memories of him.

This evening, the Song family gathered to have a memorial service for him.
His favorite hymn sung, sharing by my brother and a prayer by my sister-in-law.
During the service, Kenny’s grandson Justin noisily runs about the house.
It is interesting to consider what his remembrance of Kenny is…what each person’s experience has been…

Grateful today for
a gathering that celebrates and remembers Kenny,
friends who have been great supports through the past year,
and for seeing a playful, happy Kenny in Justin…
