Five Years On

I can't recall the exact conversation,(naturally), but it was the fifth anniversary of something. I remember Ken saying that "five years is a long time". Nothing profound nor obviously very memorable at the time nor in his statement, but it always stuck with me. Five years eventually passes for everything, of course, but something is true about it. Before Ken died, I had marked other memories with that number, and it has always rung true about that otherwise mundane quote, that at five years, everything has changed enough so that it has started to become distant in time for the first time. So it is with Ken now. I even had to double check my mind a few times this past week when I tried to remember how long ago he left us. Part incredulity that it can be so long ago so quickly, but also purely temporal. The love is timeless, however.
