Hi Folks!

 

Hope you all had a wonderful July 4th! Patriotic holidays remind me of my Uncle Kenny (he was a Marine in addition to being a member of the police department). Kenny was an admirable human being. Can't say I've ever possessed his courage, but my Grandmother (his Mother) would often say how Kenny and I had the same grin.

 

We were similar in some more pertinent ways too. Even before this CSA/GNRP ordeal there were family members I had very little to no contact with because of how they mistreat people (including their own children). Take my Aunt Kim, for instance. Kenny rarely had anything to do with her either. He'd tell people,

"She's always up to no good." He told me once or twice that he disliked the way she took advantage of Grandmother.

 

It can be lonely when you don't have any family to lean on. Yet, reflecting on Kenny always brings me comfort.
