This is our second year without Ken and it will still be hard but I remember just being so numb last year. I know there are a few of you on this board where it will be your first major holiday without your loved one. I just wanted to wish you the best day possible. I hope you find a way to enjoy the day a little bit and be thankful for the time you had with our loved one. I know we talk about Ken all day since he was such a foodie and football guy! It was one of his favorites and we continue to honor him with old and new traditions.
I am thankful for this forum and all of you - it is so nice to have a place to go where others "get it".
