2 Kens: The Giants

I remember Ken he was my friend and he was my brother. We knew each other every since we were growing up. And man he was tall from the beginning. And he never wished to be tall. And he was smart too. He learned how to cook from an early age. Ken was a good man. And he was funny too. He could laugh so loud and his mom made him cry laughing. Ken was always the Big Dog. And I say that respectfully. He would care for his siblings even walk them to school. His mom was proud of him. And he loved her dearly. Even though he had issues with his Dad Ken Sr. he loved being the big giant of the family. And he had so many friends probably because he was the tallest. And nobody wanted to mess with him. And the girls went crazy about him. He was cool from the beginning. And he had inherited many things from his Dad besides his name. He was an all around Sportsman like his father and his grandfather. His father was named after his father so really Ken was Ken the Third. And he knew football even though he could run really really really fast. Ken was a football star even the school knew him as Ken Dog. He love sports. And he also was fast at swimming too. He could do several laps around a big pool without stopping. And only his father could do that. he would love swimming in his family's pool and man he could splash. Ken ran into hard times at college. He was training and doing well. But he got caught up with the wrong guys. He did what he always did. Admit he was wrong and tried to be a better man. That was always his action no matter what. To try to be better. And he took his punishment with dignity and respect. He did not serve long and he had health issues from then. He inspired me to do well in college. Yeah he would make fun of me like a brother but he wanted me to know that I was something not only to the family but also to others. Like there was one time, I was struggling not at school but trying to get the attention of girls I like. Ken told me to not sweat it and that I was smart enough and like Dad said to be nice. He guided me even though I was concerned about college and relationships. And he made me bold enough to ask the girl out. And I realized that he was right that she just wanted to know that she was beautiful and loved. And Ken also advised me to stick to my books as we walk with his friends to high school many times. I argued but he was stern and strong willed like his parents. And Ken survived as always, he had a life, he had friends and he knew women. Ken Sr. would talk about how he had high hopes for Ken. And how he would love putting him upon his knee when he was young to say that that's my son that's my boy that's my firstborn. Ken Sr. bragged even to his favorite counselor about Ken. And they grew close, lifted heavy furniture, look after one another, had good conversations, and check up on one another like best friends. And he was so proud to see Ken outrun a football team and hold his ground at the games. And he was so proud of Ken hat he got fit and trained at Grand Ole Mississippi. I would love celebrating his birthday with a sheet Large cheese pizza of pepperoni and mushrooms. His brother David gave up his only Bible as a gift for him. And his sisters were always happy and gentle with him. He never stop caring and even cooking. The Last memory of Ken was when he walk with me at my college. And he told me to never stop believing never stop being smart. He said I was smart from the beginning and will always be smart. And that was what I always was since I was young. And he wanted to see me graduated and excel as we walk by the Memorial trees of Classes. I will never forget Ken and Ken Sr. The Two Giants in the Family as Ken was six feet and six inches tall and Ken Sr. was six feet and five inches tall. They both left behind many friends and families.
