Dear Kesner,
“If we walked this way, if we changed our pace, would love remain the same forever?” – Anthony Hamilton
Our song, Beautiful Wonderful, is what you are and always will be to me. Kesner Dufresne I have grown from knowing you, and I am sustained by the strength of your love which I still feel in this moment. Baby thank you for every time that you told me I was beautiful. Thank you for every date. Thank you for slow dances in the park at midnight, for the 6 mile canoe ride, and for the way that you held me so tightly whenever we embraced. And for the mature love that you shared with me when my love for you was not always so mature. I am different now, but you know that. I know you see me. I know you’re with me.
I will always love you Kesner. And I know that even though your footprints have been erased on this earth, I can always meet you by the old fence for the day – if I need to.
But it’s time now for me to open myself up to romantic love. My husband. My great love ahead.
My Angel, I know you have been screening him, the love of my future. you know who he is. And becasue of the way you loved me, and because of God’s LOVE, I know who I am. I am ready.
When Courtney and I laid in the grass at Horshoe Lake just after you died and I asked her if her dad ever came to visit her from Heaven, she said yes but she feels bad when she calls his name. She said she knows that when she calls on him, it is taking him away from the Glorious Band of Angels.
Have I kept you from the angels, Kes? I imagine so… You were there with me whenever I cried out for you and sometimes I feel you when the wind blows, and the birds soar. But I dont want to keep you from the Angels. Go and play with them, Handsome; dance and sing and laugh with them. I see you dancing in Heaven, happy. Dont worry about me, I’m ok now. Im whole. I’m better.
And I have so much gratitude in my heart for our LOVE story. I will always love you and I will always honor and cherish your memory.
Kesner Dufresne, Jr. – Thank You Very Sweet!!!
May you rest in peace.
