Dearest Michael~
Since you've been gone I haven't been able listen to music...everything reminds me of you and it makes me sad...whether it is those country videos, or oldies, or motown or the songs on your ipod, or even Kate Bush, I just can't do it...music was such a part of our lives, whether it was cleaning house together with the music blaring...playing "name that tune" on the radio, though you ALWAYS won...slow dancing in the living room...or just breaking out in song when we heard something that reminded us of a song...and all the records that you had and how the boys were into the same music you were...I was an island out there with my country music, but you came around...I haven't been able to listen to music...until this week-end when the silence was too much for me and I turned on the t.v. and picked the christian music channel (yes, the christian music channel :) and I found myself enjoying it...at first it just filled the silence and then I realized I liked the lyrics...so I pulled out a CD that Nancy Sullivan gave me by Mercy Me and I put it in the truck and as I drove to work today and the sky was that amazing color purple, you know the one that we don't see often, and I was at the curve where I always begin to thank God for such beauty every day, the song "I can only imagine" came on and I looked at the sky and had such a vision of you...surrounded by His glory, in honor of him, you were still, and unable to speak at all because you were in awe that you were standing before Him ... and I had such a peace settle over me that you are where you are supposed to be...I miss you so very much, but I know that you are at peace and I am so very grateful for that...
Forever love,
Karen
"Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in honour of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine"
