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.

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!!!

“How are you doing”
ByKarenI 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
ByKarenToday 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…

I’m a different person now….
ByKarenSomething happened yesterday that really upset me. I wanted to cry so bad but my medication doesn’t allow me to cry very easily. (And that’s okay!). But I was very sad and I had a lot to do. It would have been great to have a hug and to be held for a little while, I feel safe that way. But that wasn’t readily available to me so I picked myself up and went on with my day and surprisingly, I was very productive. And then later on in the afternoon I realized that 7 months ago I would have just shut down for the day and felt helpless, alone, sad… and I would have had a pity party for me because Steve wasn’t here…

Daddy Bears
ByKarenOne 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.
