I saw pictures of Kieron tonite...of when Kieron was Keek. Whoever left them on our kitchen counter had no idea what emotions they unveiled.

His smile was completely contagious, and if you were near it, you too would be infected.

Tonite I'd give my heart away to be in the same room looking at Keek's smile. I want him back...

3/18/2011

So it's done...your second birthday away.

Didn't see dad, or mom, or any siblings on the 50th year of you.

B-day presents bro...

Such is the sad reality presented when we're presented by death.

Lively occasions - remarkable days like the half-century mark of a birth - don't play out.

Fuck the whole notion

50

The eve of your 50th birthday Kieron.

With you, I envision a reflective Thursday, drinking Jameson's and engaging in another colorful conversation.

Without you, I'll still reflect... and I'll continue to miss you, your insight, your unique outlook on life.

I'll reflect on the impact and influence you had on me. I hate using the past tense because it reminds me of your absence. Also because it's not accurate; your influence guides me every day. Tomorrow will be no different.

Nevertheless, happy birthday.

I miss you.

I love you.

Michael

times like these

stalwart and humble KPF, is what you were...today we missed that...guide me more

March 2011

When an acquaintance, even a new one, relates to me a moment with their brother I grab a hold. When I hear a story about a brother, I instantly become the best audience this storyteller could ever imagine having. Please reveal a happenstance that allows me to imagine you.

I miss you brother, our times and more than anything those which should have occurred.

My promise: this year, beginning with 3/2011, I will make moments that carry on your essence. As time accumulates, your stamp on life will be revived and celebrated instead of the alternative...I will not let what you stood for fade away.

The cruel reality of your fate will never rest easy in me...at times, most of the time, I cannot find peace without having you here.

It saddens me to watch my children fight. While their not old enough to cherish it yet, in time they will understand that a brother's bond is one of life's greatest strengths.

I love you Kieron.
