so many incredible times ... where to begin.. from driving us to school in the baby blue convertible Beatle - impressions as we went - never knew quite who would be driving any day - would it be the rabbi, the gangster, the very camp acting teacher. I remember going to TGI Fridays for one of Zoe's birthdays and Ken had the whole restaurant entertained - I think he went around table to table doing various impressions and had everyone in stitches . There was the other side to him too - the spiritual side - no small part of him .. his friends from the pond in Hampstead heath and Betty Shine and going to the healing church and then off to eat masala dosa's in Kilburn afterwards. When I came back from my honeymoon ken happened to be walking past my front door literally as the cab was dropping us off from the airport. He insisted on taking photos of mark carrying me over the threshold so to speak, into the hallway of belsize park. Then , years later, when our marriage was breaking down, I remember walking in primrose hill with ken who tried everything he could to keep our marriage together - gave me great advice. He CARED so much, had so much empathy. I remember too, when he first bought Portugal, him telling me that he felt like he had lived there before, in another lifetime.. he was just thrilled with it. he said something about the color of the earth resonated so strongly inside him - that it was a place he knew from another time. How proud he was of both his kids- I remember him telling me once beaming with pride how much Zoe looked like Barbro- and when she got her first class degree from Leeds - wow! . He also supported me so much making Thats for me - not just by being in it and spending so many hours of his time - he was always up for doing any madness we came up with..!! but also afterwards - when we were editing it- literally for years - mostly at my mums house - he would come over and sit in on the edit much of the time . He was fascinated by the whole process. The last time I saw him was a Zoes wedding - and even though he was already a little in and out - he was so proud - it was like the completion of so many things - seeing his beautiful daughter married to an amazing man, their child , in the house he built from the ground up . He dedicated so much to his family and this was like it all came home to roost in that moment surrounded by friends and family . He still cared so much about everyone - he was asking me about my life in LA and my new boyfriend - wanted to make sure he was treating me well - so much concern always for my wellbeing. Im still honestly in a state of shock. He has been such a huge part of my life always - through all the different chapters. I love you Ken . Cant quite believe you aren't here on this earth in body.. but I know you were always so in touch with the other side that I feel you around me and I know we will keep the lines of communication open forever.
