28* August 29th

   Today I am an emotional wreck and I know why I stopped keeping track of time the last few months. It was too hard to know what day it was because knowing means remembering. Remembering how long it has been without Kenny and though that doesn't necessarily mean holding onto the last day or reliving it--its knowing all that has been missed since that last day. It is August 29, it has been nine months since Kenny died and now is about the the same time that the officer came to my house to take his i.d.->2:01 pm. I don't normally keep track of those details but the memory returns if I happen to look at the time. I suppose that once an event is burnt into your mind it automatically reveals itself if the minutes coincide on another date.

  I wanted to write more today but the past couple hours have really blanked my mind completely--Kenny deserves better than this}he was a sweet and loving soul but I'm in so much pain I don't think I am doing him justice with this blog. I'm so stuck that I am very frustrated with myself...
