This June 30th will be the 1 year anniversary of Ken passing away. We recently had his great aunt from Japan stay with us for about two weeks. (Here's a trick for every one to try sometime, have 6 people ranging in ages 6 months to 100+ in your home for two weeks.) So before she left we visited Ken's burial site. A bit after we got home I built this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=192318 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=192319 to try to work out some of the lingering feelings I had. It's accurate with two exceptions: Fumiko's (the minifig with the cane) hair is stark white and the big oak tree to the east of the crypt is missing due to lack of bricks. This image: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=192327 is of some sort of ritual Duane told us we had to do. Part of it is placing a broom and a hoe (shovel) at the grave. Don't ask, I don't understand it either. This series of images: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=192321 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=192322 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=192323 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=192324 deserve some explanation in my opinion. So here it comes. I was the last one to leave the gravesite. I swear I felt that Ken was there and that I heard him. Those 4 pictures are my interpretation. (Waits for the wood paneled car to take her to the loony bin) Xposted to LUCNY.

		Re: Anniversary
(...) [...snip rest of story...] I think you did a great job of capturing that. I love the way you adjusted the focus so that the eye was drawn to the Ken minifig. No, you're not loony. Ken, we miss you. I can't believe it's been a whole year. (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.people)
