The Journey and the Journal

KEN.
GONE THREE YEARS.
THINGS I'D LIKE TO SAY TO HIM.

  • I have a bunch of photos of you and of you and me hanging above the piano. It's nice to remember how much you loved to hear me play and sing.
  • I wish I could hear you play your trumpet just one more time.
  • What should I do with all these records!
  • My tub needs grouting, I need knobs on some cabinets, and it would be nice to have a stainless steel kitchen sink.
  • Do you pray up there? If so, pray harder!
  • God gave me a really nice car...but maybe you know that already. I keep thinking, "Ken would really be happy that I have this car."
  • Ditto about my church. I keep saying to myself, "Ken would really love this church."
  • You know, I'm getting along okay, but it was a lot more fun with you around.
  • You told me a couple of times along the road, "If something ever happens to me, Sharon, you've got to keep going." I am.
  • I didn't like that I couldn't call you to tell you that I hate my new driver's license photo!
  • I've got lots of friends...new, old, close, far, Facebook...oh, you don't know what that is. :)
  • I think of you when I read Isaiah 57:1,2. I like the world even less now than before.
  • Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time.
          But no one seems to care or wonder why.
       No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
     For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.

  • The kids miss you. They still like your music, tell your jokes and get misty eyed now and then when something reminds them of you.
  • I'm glad you're safe. I'm glad you're healthy. I'm glad for the rest that God promises. I'm glad you're with Him. You're "lucky." We all wish that we could see Him!
  • I still love you. But I have to tell the truth...I had to take my rings off because they were killing my finger. Honest! I'm actually going to see the doctor about it! :)
  • Any clues about the Big Day? Is it soon? Lots of preparation for something huge?
  • See you soon!
