Thoughts that wouldn't otherwise derive permeate my mind tonight.
Reason being, life has taken a dimented twist over the last five years, particularily in the last year and especially tonight, the one year mark - to this very hour - of Kieron's death.
Tonight the word life is at my mind's forefront. It needs a new meaning, an altogether different name. Because until recently a large part of life was Kieron. That's over now, and it's not easy redefining it.
Thoughtful ones might suggest Kieron's death, and death itself, is part of life. They're right...it's hard to argue, unless you knew Kieron. If you knew Kieron there's a retort, a natural rebuttal: Kieron was life. At least the one I knew.
His senseless passing convolutes its entire meaning.
In this circle the life I understand lacks luster. He was so full of it and it so full of him that its mere mention sounds foreign.
Life less Kieron must be renamed. Now as it stands, a great deal of its significance left.

2010 and Kieron Finnegan
Saturday, Jan 8th 2011 - 5 days away.
3/17/10; summertime 2010; fall and football 2010, holiday season 2010...2010 and all of its precious milestones differed.
The list of reasons that make death (especially a young, inexplicable one) unfair is neverending. What saddens me of late is one's legacy, or memorialization. As time passes since one's last day, he/she is discussed less and less...and so the memory tends to fade.
Maybe, hopefully I'm wrong, and the reason we talk less about Kieron since 1/13/2010 is because the sting of the loss lessens.
Kieron's legacy is no more championed by me than anyone else that loved him. But I cry out and this my promise: the more time multiplies, bigger becomes the room in my heart and mind for treasuring him.
Kieron Go Bragh, and ever.
