Kenneth

Dear Kenneth,

As your 8th birthday approaches I pray with all that I am that you are surrounded in the warmth and endless love of our Lord and that this message may find it's way to heaven's door step.

I want you to know that even though our worlds are separated by an impassable barrier that I carry you with me in all I do. Your Mom and I are filled with a deep sorrow that we can not be together; we have unwavering faith that someday we will be reunited.

I want to share with you a poem that your sister wrote and let you know that both Christopher and Alexandra carry you within their hearts.

Love,
Dad

I am Normal

I am normal.

I wonder what my brother would look like?

I hear strange voices.

I see my brother in my dreams.

I want him here with me.

I am normal.

I pretend he’s here.

I feel sad.

I touch his hair in dreams.

I worry what could happen.

I cry in dreams from scary things.

I am normal.

I understand why he’s not here.

I communicate in many different ways.

I dream with him.

I try not to think about it.

I am normal.
