How many people do you think, have been lucky enough, blessed enough, in their lifetime, to find their soul mate? The person who is, literally, their "other half", the one who fills the HOLE in your heart and makes you WHOLE! And how many of those people also have the most amazing family anyone could wish for - funny, talkative, contentious, argumentative, loving, caring, and incredibly supportive - who completely accept the 'other half' who has just joined their family? And, on top of all that, how many people also have the most wonderful and caring bunch of friends anyone could ask for?
I have been that blessed.
Yes, it was an incredibly difficult year, particularly for Ken who had to live with all the pain and suffering, but we had so much support, so much love, that just poured out on us like a never ending flood.... and that love and support is still spilling out on to me even now, after Ken is gone.
Another major blessing was that Ken's two daughters managed to get back in touch with him after so many years, and Ken was even able to see his GREAT grandson (how many people can get to see their GREAT grandchildren!!). While he was able to, he had a few conversations with his son, his daughters, his sister, his best friend in Wales, our close friends in Holland. I am so glad that he was back in touch with his children while there was still time. And, with the wonders of technology, not only did they SPEAK but they were also able to SEE each other, via Skype. Absolutely amazing!
It will be a long time before I can think of Ken without crying from missing him so much, but I know that I will never doubt that he was an absolute blessing in my life, and in the lives of all those he touched.
And I don't doubt that he is somewhere peaceful and joyful, waiting for me, and that I will see him there again, when it is my turn to go, and that will be such happiness!
