Today it has been 38 weeks without Kenny and I have to say time has not made it any easier. It has been a dreary, dreary time without him. Kind of how my blog has been...and I'm feeling dissatisfied with it actually. Although there have been some good memories mentioned.
I'm not sure in which direction this is going...how quickly the thoughts float out of my mind. I hear the words in my mind but they don't read the same as they sound to me.

Katana Eclipse X~~~~
So today I was supposed to turn the service off on Kenny's cell phone. It is called Katana Eclipse X and of course it is black,, with a clear acrylic cover. He wanted it clear so the black shown thru it. It was only the 2nd cell phone he ever owned and it was the same as his first, only a newer version. That's what Kenny wanted-it was exactly like him to stick with what he already had because he liked it. He was the same with people. If he liked you, if you were special to him in any way than he always liked you. And was the most loyal person I ever knew. He always put others needs and feelings before his own and as my son Jheremy put it he was 'selflessly fair' which was part of his wonderful character. I think in some way that may have added to his depression but it was always Kenny's way and was one his characteristics that made him so special. There were many times when I would think someone was treating him unfair and I would tell him that because Kenny just dealt with whatever was thrown at him and rarely said anything about it. Often when I would express my opinion Kenny would reply with a completely different outlook that was compassionate to the other person. Sometimes I was truly amazed with how forgiving of a person he was--much more than I have ever been. It is one of lessons I will take from him- how to be forgiving. With all that I have been through in my lifetime it is the perfect virtue for me to try to emulate.
I didn't make it to Sprint today; but something great happened. My friend was able to transfer all the pictures and contacts from Kenny's phone to mine. I am really happy about that because he had a picture of his friend Ariel from long ago and it is the only picture of her that I know of. Also he took random pictures of posters. One is a poster with a list of items not allowed somewhere--leave it to Kenny to take a picture of rules--who does that? It's quite amusing. But even better than that Kenny's contacts have random silly names and when I call or text someone that was already in my phone it comes up with the name Kenny had which is extremely fabulous and made me laugh.
Element of the day (day 20)
#52) Te-Tellurium-] nonmetal solid
Discovered in 1783 by Baron Franz Joseph Muller von Reichenstein, Romania. A metalloid element although it has a very metallic silvery-white appearance. It is very brittle and unreactive with water and some acids. Reacts with air. Used in semiconductors, electronics, ceramics and catalysts, especially in the petroleum industry, in alloys, especially with steel and copper to improve ductility and lead, to prevent corrosion.
Chiefly obtained as a by-product of copper processing. Minerals include tellurite and sylvanite.
