goodbye, uncle Ken
Toronto, 2011.12.07
Uncle Ken was in North York today, working with clients - a visit to the Beaches was the last thing on his mind.
But little Kenny had his heart set on seeing his uncle again, and a couple of guilt-laden text messages (about: Kenny telling everyone at the drop-in centre about his uncle*; my attempts at 'staunching Kenny's tears') did the trick. An exhausted uncle Ken showed up to say goodbye to The Boy before wearily heading back to his hotel with a morning flight ahead of him.
*At the drop-in centre, people were asking Mari if Kenny was a bit confused - did The Boy and his uncle really have the same name?
