American Hero Aaron Michael Kenefick, USMC, Gunnery Sgt

Mother’s Day Blessings with Heart from Gold Star Marine Mom



It is everyday that my family and I honor Aaron's life: he was truly a "Beacon" in this world. These times we live in, there has been too many of our "WHITE KNIGHTS" Men of Honor and Valor lost to the consequences of war, stellar life snuffed out as payment toward a hidden "AGENDA". Well...NO MORE...I think in protest...as my thoughts take me to my projects at hand.... This year as I celebrate my Mother, Daughters, Grandchildren and the "Gift of Life", I am sending out healing to all my Gold Star Mothers around the country, included in my Special Prayers are the families and survivors of the Benghazi Tragedy.
I begin this Mothers Day acknowledging that in the months to follow, it will be four years since the death of my first born child, my son and American Hero Aaron Michael Kenefick, USMC, Gunnery Sgt. A Stellar Marine of over twelve years of service, it was to be his life's career as he had invested his heart and soul and all that he was as a man, into his brotherhood that would protect our country from the EVILS of this world. It has become a bittersweet day each year as I grapple with my new inherited place in time knowing that one of mine is now in spirit.

Thoughts of yesteryear fill my heart, the births of my three beautiful children, each different in their disposition, yet cut from the same cloth. Time passages take me back to February in Buffalo, New York, where even a snowman was too frigid to stand at attention; thirty six hours of hard labor, my Grandmother remarking that I must be giving birth to an Angel, haha I thought, that is another old wives tale or was it? This sacred moment has come for me to take the title of mother....cries of new life, as the my Doctor lifts up my son, and asks aloud, " Susan, what name do you give this child", "Aaron Michael" meaning rod of the truth, warrior angel, not knowing that one day as a man he would grow into his name, and his angel wings. I thought of my daughters and their special births and the women and mothers they have become today... In my mind I hear my children's laughter and as I begin drawing from my memory bank, that of a younger woman, raising her children, I relive those very feelings again. Here come the flood gates of emotion, opening to every thought, gesture and conversation shared, moments at the dinner table, home, school, sporting events, family gatherings, holidays, church, bedtime stories, goodnight, good mornings and I love you!!! It was one conversation in particular Aaron reiterated every chance he had and it goes like this: "Mom, if it happens and I leave this earth earlier then planned please honor these things.” “Tell my daughter how much I loved and wanted her.” “Make sure that I am laid to rest beside my Marine grandfather (your DAD).” “And mom, I love you and my family and friends, they mean the world to me, I would die to protect you all as I love God, My Family and My Country.” “And Mom, please know, that if I place something somewhere it is put there for a reason.” (Aaron was the most detailed oriented person I have ever known in my life, he was squared away by habit and profession.) As a Spiritual Woman, with an immense faith, I believe that the Lord's plan is an AWESOME, perfect ebb of knowledge & power.
I believe with all that I am, we all have a purpose, a mission, a calling, and if we are still... deep within our hearts and minds....that ability to" know"... becomes quite clear
There is NOTHING more POWERFUL than the love of a Mother for her child, in life and in death. My son worked diligently so that no Marine or fellow brother in arms would ever fall through the cracks of Military/Political Agendas and has became an example of the Microcosm that has become the "new normal ". The club of Gold Star Families is a club that you don't go looking to join, it chooses us, and life takes on a canvas of a shaded dimension of truth where fact and fiction are woven together.... There is shadow agenda that has been sweeping through our military, annihilating our American valor on the battlefields... Neglecting, abandoning by acts of omission, negating, dumbing down and refuting any and all existence for unaccountable acts committed against humanity. There is a quiet rage emerging through the homes and streets of America. Our beloved country is in deep trouble. Our Liberties are at stake and Constitution is being held hostage. The United States of America, the home of the free, because of the brave, was once the Most Powerful Country in the world with the most sophisticated Military. Now we witness so many defiant acts emerging, some subtle and some so obtuse they cut like a double edged sword. Military/Political atrocities!!!!! Our Government works for us, don't they? "We the people". Democrats, Republicans, Independents, it really does not matter because the radicals that have infiltrated our country, want to separate us while discounting our belief system like a parasite spreading a cancer. There is an old saying I remember hearing as a child and never understood it until now, and it goes like this, "There is nothing more deadlier then a United States Marine, than a Marine’s Mother". Since the passing of my son Aaron, I have experienced a lot of growing pains, some say it is living through the Fog of War, Bereavement, I call it Transformation, as I am no one’s victim and refuse to surrender to this insidious clandestine arrangement Knowing that I cannot change the direction of such an obtuse position of EVIL, I believe that I can empower hearts and minds with an intelligent fight and that is through the sharing of "KNOWLEDGE". It is through the peaks and valleys of this process, I am lifted up and propelled through the spirit of an unconditional love on this side of the veil, as I walk in the armor of the Holy Spirit. My Angels they say "BRING IT". AS I am one of God’s messengers in an earthy vessel. I am Susan Price, the Mother of an American Hero. I have a story of my own. To all of you young Mothers out there, love and foster your children in truth, instill faith and hope, teach them family history, tradition and unconditional values, for you truly don't realize what seeds the Lord has entrusted you with. What souls you are responsible for and lasting impressions they will make upon the world. This Mothers Day I will give praise and thanks for the gift of life and the human spirit. God Bless You Mothers and God Bless America!!!!!
