19* Soon...

    Life is changing fast,or at least faster than I want it to.Soon I will have to empty Kenny's room and move away from the home where my sons grew up and I have been for the past 12 years. Oddly enough the thought of leaving here feels like I'm truly leaving Kenny behind.This home,his room and his belongings are the only tangible connection left to my beloved son. And even though I knew this day was coming I still feel overwhelmed with all that lies ahead. Especially because I don't feel ready to go,,I don't feel ready to let go of my son...I don't think I will ever be ready
   It's all so unpleasant
