Today would have been my 16th Wedding Anniversary
Today would have been mine and Steve’s 16th wedding anniversary.
We had such a fun wedding and I remember it as if it were yesterday.
I always thought we’d grow old together.
I miss him so much.

Mother’s Day – My Girls Spoiled Me Today!
ByKaren
My girls spoiled me today!! My day began with them letting me sleep in, then waking me to kisses and breakfast in bed – heart shaped toast, a hardboiled egg and a granola bar. Then they showered me with lots of presents. They really made me feel special today It’s been tough being their mom the past 6 months, but I try my best and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for them . They are my world right now . The day was complete with a great dinner with my mom and dad. I love my mom beyond words and I’m so lucky to have her. Two friends lost their mom’s this weekend, and I couldn’t even begin to imagine how they feel today,…
3 Years Ago Today, Steve and I celebrated our 13th Wedding Anniversary…..
ByKaren
3 years ago today, Steve and I went out to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. It was a Saturday night. When we got home that night Steve asked me if I was happy (after 13 yrs of marriage, I think it’s a legit question! lol) and I told him, “Yes” I was happy with where we were in our relationship, I loved our new home and all that came along with it and the direction our lives were going in at that time. I then told him that I was scared that something was going to happen to ruin it all. He assured me that nothing would happen to take our happiness away. 3 days later he ended up in the hospital and they found…
Christmas 2017 was really good!
ByKaren
Christmas 2016 happened less than 2 months after we buried Steve. We all went through the motions becacuse we had too…. for the kids. But honestly, I felt like a fruad. I still sent out Christmas Cards, but they weren’t “Bright & Merry”… I did it because that’s what I do, I send out cards every Christmas. I mailed them along with Thank You notes to those that attended his Funural. Yes, it was weird. When shopping for my inlaws, I was completely stumped. What do you buy for someone who just lost their son… their only child. Not much. Actually, NOTHING. But I came up with a couple of ideas – I printed a beauiful picture of Steve that I took of him…
Daddy Bears

One of my best friends had these bears made for the girls from two of Steve’s Hawaiian shirts. They are amazing and the girls absolutely love them!!! The shirts he wore tons of times so they remind them of him. Such a wonderful and thoughtful gift! Thank you Jaime Lutynski Kilday!!! You are an amazing person and I’m happy to call you my friend. Xoxoxoxo
“How are you doing”
ByKaren
I know most days it appears that I’m fine, but I am not. I am still very fragile, sad, lonely and missing Steve. I wish sometimes I could hang a sign around my neck asking people to be sensitive to me, think about what they are going to say and consider keeping it to themselves. But I can’t. Unless you’ve grieved the loss of someone as close as a spouse, there is no way to know how it feels, and I don’t expect anyone to, nor do I want anyone I love to know how it feels, but it does still hurt and I think about him every single day. Yes, I need help from time to time. I’m doing this alone, I have…
7 Months Since My Husband Died
ByKaren
Today is 7 month’s since Steve died. 7 MONTHS! I can’t believe it’s been that long, yet it seems like yesterday. Holly cried tonight. She misses him SO MUCH. He was her ‘person’. She had a bond with him that will always make her heart hurt. Holly cries a lot. She thinks of him a lot. She never misses the 5th of the month. She’s “graduating 6th grade” in 2 weeks. She wanted him to be with there to see her graduation SO BAD. She knew it probably wouldn’t happen, and she knew he was dying, but all she prayed for was for him to see her finish elementary school. She knew he’d never see her graduate. But he didn’t make it. At least not…
