Ken's Sky

Attended a memorial service for a friend's husband tonight...altho I didn't know him nearly that well I am close to her...they were very very close in many ways. They have a very tight knit nuclear family unit and on his side there were many cousins etc. coming from all over to this memorial. Her own family was not as close altho her brother came and sang a lovely song and her sister in law wrote a beautiful poem. Her daughters were very close and fond of their father and their loss will be immense. I was particularly struck by how touched one son in law was who had lost his own father at age 14. His father in law had become a real father to him and he expressed how he now fully knew what he had missed losing his own dad at such an early age. Prior to going into the memorial the sky was dark and the moon was out. This darkened sky then, became my blip. I named it after her husband Ken who died so suddenly from an undetected heart disorder.
