Today I am thankful for Kenton.
I am glad to have a father who was very slow to wrath.  I can only count on one had the number of time I saw him angry.  Its just not one of his "plug ins".  Sadly, my children cannot say the same.  But maybe if I work fast I can change their memory of it.  Because I sure did get spankings in my youth. I do have a father whose morals and ethics are above reproach.

Now, as an adult, I recognize a few kinks in the armor. That is hard to watch and see.  But harder still for him. Time is slowing him down.  Sorrow is weakening his zest.  I pray for him that he will have the strength to embrace the sadness and walk through the black cloud of grief. I pray for him that he will create a new life for himself with new friends and adventures. I pray he will find joy in his new life and still joy in his family, children and grandkids remaining.  Dear God, help him fight for his health and happiness.  He has a strong spirit.
