Brandy Ledford Instagram – I thought getting thrown from a horse this week was bad. Getting a phone call that my dad suddenly died has wrecked me.
My heart is completely broken.
Ken Ledford was my first cowboy, my first love and the strongest, coolest man I’ve ever known.
He was so loving. He was generous with affection and always had an open heart. He loved his children more than anything in the world and was truly in love with his wife Lynn until his last breath. God bless you Lynn, we love you so much.
He loved to dance, laugh, build stuff, eat delicious food, watch golf, actually golf, be in his garden- he was just planting peas on Tuesday!
He loved the Lord with all his heart and soul.
He loved to take me fishing and camping and hiking.
He loved to brag about an airplane he helped rebuild that is in the Smithsonian, so every time I’m in DC I look for it.
He loved dogs, cards, a good party, America, the Bible, his friends, Gunsmoke reruns, all things Western, long road trips, the outdoors, anything sweet.
He loved me…
I see him in the mirror sometimes, in my own smile, or when I laugh at a joke he would have liked. I find pieces of him in myself, in the way I face challenges, in my work ethic, my discipline, in my morning routine. His wisdom, joy and resilience will live in my spirit forever.
Rest easy, daddy.
I love you more than cherry pie à la mode.
