Ken Day 1,398

My blessing 1,398 is being dedicated to our friend Ken Mason  He has been such a wonderful inspiration to my hubby & myself; as well as to so many others that I couldn't help but take this opportunity to share this blessing with others. We took this special photo last year when we went on our honeymoon (after 30 years of marriage). It is one we will treasure for years to come. Much laughter & joy was had in this visit & the ones that followed.
 

He is an awesome guy with an awesome legacy, touching lives with God's love, as well as his own. Loads of joy & laughter, a love of life & all things living. Never a dull moment with Ken, he truly makes everyone know they are special & means it with his whole heart & soul. He is an amazing man, found he good in absolutely everyone & everything.
  Well, it is just a matter of time now till our friend in MO goes home. His body has pretty much given out, he is tired & wants to go home, they have sedated him to keep him comfortable. We are all okay with it, his wife is okay too, I talked to her earlier today.  He took ill not long after our visit in May, though he had probably been ill long before that. The journey in the hospital has been up & down, very difficult. We were down there in September & will be going down after his passing. We were going down this week; but Lynn said he wouldn’t know us & to wait as the weather could go warmer before God actually calls him home. So we will wait. 

In all honesty I smile when I think about it. We will miss him dearly; but every memory is an absolutely beautiful rose that bring a huge smile. That is what his life is & was, the only way to describe the ‘old rooster’ as his wife calls him. Can’t help but smile when you think of Ken. Anyway, there are many small children who will miss their grampa dearly. Heavy hearts, blessed to have had them in their lives; but happy to know his destination.  ;♥)

Ken is one person who made a difference in so many lives.  When he gets to Heaven there will be many people shaking his hand saying 'thank you' for a lifetime to come; but he will also be one who doesn't expect a thing.  It was just his personality & character.  A truly amazing man of God who we are blessed to call family & friend.  Thank you Lord for bringing him & Lynn into our lives.
