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.

A Year Later and Doing Well….

Christmas 2017 was really good!
ByKarenChristmas 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…
Steve would have been 46 today
ByKarenI have amazing friends. I spent the day with some of them and we had a great time. We went to dinner and we celebrated Steve. We know he was there with us because a song he loved, that we were talking about earlier today, came on while at dinner. Then we saw a boat similar to the one his parents owned while he was growing up. We all agree that was him telling us he was there. Thank you for all the birthday wishes for him, all the texts and love you all sent us today. It really helps and I appreciate it so much!!!
Mother’s Day – My Girls Spoiled Me Today!
ByKarenMy 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,…
The Mourner’s Bill of Rights
ByKarenI came across something called “The Mourner’s Bill of Rights” and there were 10 bullet points. One of them made me feel so better about how I’ve been feeling the past week or so – I have been SO UNMOTIVED lately. I haven’t cooked in two weeks, and have no desire to even go food shopping. I have new furniture coming for Allison this week which means everything has to come out of her room and I have the Book Fair at the girl’s school coming up in less than a week and I haven’t done anything for that either. I hate feeling this way. But at least this helps me to understand that it’s normal. It said “You have the right to be tolerant…
Daddy Bears
