One Year Ago

love love love your blog...read it everyday.
I don't go a day without coming to your blog, Kenneth. I hope you always find the desire to keep it up. As I've said on my own mini-mini-blog on my MySpace page, I think your site is a great blend of hot men and newslinks, all with your thoughtful commentary.
I always recommend it to others and if you post something of particular interest to me, I will refer to it on my own blog and tell people to check out where I found it.
Oh! And I can't forget all the fun vintage family photographs you post. You always look like you were having so much fun.
I lost my own father six years back. While that may seem a long time ago, it still is painful even now.
I wish I would have had a blog to work through some of the things I was feeling back then.
Don't worry about getting personal with stuff like this. It helps us get to know you better.
That's a very hard anniversary. My mom passed away just over two years ago. I try to do something to mark the date, even though there is no grave to visit.
Thanks for putting up a great blog. You have a great mix of content, and I appreciate the personal stuff every bit as much as the pop culture tidbits and cute men.
Rest in Peace Billy. I am so glad i had a chance to meet you.
Love you Kenny,
Michael
xxoo
Kenneth, you make coming back to your blog on a daily basis very easy. You are an awesome writer. Thank you and our thoughts are with you on a sad anniversary.
I know exactly how you feel Kenneth. I am an avid reader of your blog and I enjoy it. You were inspiration for starting my own blog. I know how it is to lose a parent. I lost both of my parents and I am only 26. Anyway, you are in my thoughts. Check out my blog,

Can't believe it's been a year already. Thinking of you, KW. (So glad I got to see you guys last weekend.)
As you know I lost my mother less than three weeks ago, and this past Saturday was to be her 80th birthday, a particularly significant milestone I know she always expected to celebrate. I can't imagine what it will be like one year or six years from now, but I am sure that nothing will ever be able to fill the special place she had in my life. My thoughts are with you, Kenneth. Obviously I echo the sentiments of the other commenters: love your blog, it's a blog model for all of us :-)
I can't even imagine what it's like.
:(
I happened across this post, sorry I didn't see it sooner.
I hope that on Sunday, you were able to spend a little time remembering your dad, and all the good things about him, and how his legacy lives on in you and your family.
I also appreciate you sharing that your dad served his country, and in the times we live in these days, I think its important to recognize that so many Americans sacrificed of themselves in service to our country. For that, I say thanks to your dad, and to you for the little reminder.
I was reading some of your blog and stumbled upon this picture. I have a similar one of my father's I frequently look at. Having it amongst the other military tombstones gives me some comfort he is not alone. As I'm sure you know, I haven't gone a day without thinking of him. Mostly happy now...I can think "wouldn't he be proud?" or "This would make him laugh" instead of focusing on the pain and loss.
Anyway, I didn't really have a point...the picture just struck a nerve I guess.
