Dearest Michael~
Oh lordy, lord am I having a tough time without you. Just when I think I'm handling things pretty well, bam, something reminds me of you and I'm nothing but a puddle of tears...I really didn't think I could cry so much. I miss you every day, and almost every minute of every day...some days I wonder how I can put one foot in front of the other and then there are other days where I can get thru most of the day without too much fanfare...today has been a day that was difficult to get thru...Jennifer Donoghue's baby's Christening...it was bittersweet...Jennifer looked beautiful and her baby, Thomas, oh my, the cutest baby I've seen in a long time...most of Mike's family there, Vanessa's sisters, and of course I cried...cried because Vanessa was not by their side...cried because you weren't here either...Joseph went with me for moral support, God love him and then off he went to Greg Grey's wedding...so I went shopping and walked thru the entire Hanover Mall and Walmart and didn't buy a thing, can you believe it? And while I was walking thru Target I got a picture text from Joseph...on the tables at the wedding were cards with the following "In lieu of favors, Amanda and Greg made a donation to the Michael F. Powers Memorial Scholarship Fund in honor of all their guests" and of course I totally lost it in the middle of the store and cried all the way home...when I could see thru the tears I texted Joe and told him to be proud and he texted back with "I am proud, but you married an amazing man who had a huge impact"...and I did, didn't I...I miss you, you amazing man...
Forever love,
Karen
Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill my heart,
my world, my universe.
Amen.
