A memory came to me this morning as I sat with my coffee. I thought it might bring at least a little happiness to your heart.
When Kaitlyn was a toddler, our apartment was right next door to Kenny and Karens. Which meant, of course, the three of us were always popping in and out of each others place at all hours. LOL
Well, Kaitlyn used to have terrible night terrors then. She would huddle in a corner and scream. I couldn't calm her no matter what I tried. Kenny and Karen heard her screams from the other side of the wall and came over to see what happened. Kenny got down on his knee and rubbed her back and just spoke soothingly to her and she settled down. Next time it happened, I called for him and he did it again with the same result.
Up until the time we moved, after a few times, when she would have a spell, within seconds he would just appear. No matter the time.I I was be pretty shook up after really bad spells and he would grab a deck of cards and he would stay there, play cards and joke with me until I was calmed myself. Never complained about it, never ignored it. That is the Kenny I will keep in my hearts memory.
