So I hurt my toe last week--cut it on a door and its been swollen and hurting for days but its not broken, and it got me thinking today how in 20 years of life Kenny never had a broken bone, never wore a cast or a splint or used crutches. I think he used an ace bandage for something once or maybe it was just that he wrapped his hands when he hit his punching bag. It's interesting to me how safe Kenny was until the end. I mean, wow!- walking into a train- that's dangerous!!! Definitely broke his streak of no broken bones...
I'm eating salt water taffy as I type this; one off Kenny's favorite treats. I made sure to buy extra vanilla and orange because Kenny liked those the most, I put them in the candy pot.
Well, I'm back home and I will sleep in Kenny's bed again. There's nothing like being in a place that is comfortable even though it is sad that it is my body in his bed instead of his own. I missed his room while I was away in the same way I miss him now that he is no longer home. I am feeling sad and wistful and I will go lay down now that the tears are flowing and my heart is hurting again.
~~ until tomorrow....
