Today is Roger Kenley's 9th birthday. He is celebrating in the arms of our Heavenly Father. It was 9 years ago today that Kenley came into this world at 4 pounds and 3 ounces and very sick. he fought a hard fight, but much to our sadness he was called home to play in the streets of gold and rest in the arms of Jesus 2 days later on April 28th. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I wonder what he would look like. Would he have curly hair like kyli's or red hair like chazs'? Would he play ball or would he skate board like Cole? I miss him and wish I could have had more time with him. Time to bathe him and smell his sweet head. To kiss him goodnight or play ball with him. At the time of Kenley's death there was a song on the radio that played called " one more day" by Diamond Rio, everytime I hear it I think of him... I thought I would share the lyrics with you.
ONE MORE DAY
Last night I had a crazy dream A wish was granted just for me, It could be for anything I didn't ask for money Or a mansion in malibu I simply wished, for one more day with you
Chorus One more day One more time One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied But then again I know what it would do Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl Then I'd unplug the telephone And keep the tv off I'd hold you every second Say a million I love you's That's what I'd do. With one more day with you
Chorus
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
it is so beatiful..... it still brings tears to my eyes even after 9 years.
I know that Kenley's death was not in vain. God knew what was gonna happen before he came into this world and while he didn't grant me a miracle with Kenley.... He blessed me with 3 more beautiful babies.... for which I couldn't live without. His death also brought SEan and I closer together and formed an eternal bond between us, one that cannot be broken, no matter what the devil throws at us.
Today we will celebrate Kenley's birthday with a smile, because One day we will see him again and he will not be sick and he will know us from the minute we each enter the gates of heaven.
Please say a prayer for us.
thank you
Kelly
