Dearest Michael~
Your sister came to visit yesterday and spent the night. I put her in our room because I didn't think she could handle sleeping in the room where she last saw you...she misses you so much and still can't comprehend that you are gone...I told her not to feel bad, I can't either. She got a lot of things off her heart, but is still troubled...every time she mentioned "being the Walton's" I had to smile, because God knows you all wanted that, but what you got was a crazy, mixed up family, no different than anyone elses...I wish she was at peace, but it may take awhile, if ever...we had a nice day yesterday...lunch at Burton's then down to see your mother and then an evening on the couch watching t.v.
This morning Chris, Bethany and Mylah came over and oh, is she a cutie...you would love her, though I'm sure you met her before we did :) You would be proud of Chris...he is doing a good job at being a dad...though I think he's going to need your guidance...
And Kevin and Nicole welcomed Baby Owen in to the world, after a very long labor...I can't wait to meet him, though these things make my heart heavy because I can't share any of it with you...I saw a grandpa today with his two grandsons and they were carrying pumpkins and having such a great time and all I could think of was you...it made me cry because we will never share those grandparent moments...
Oh, Michael, I miss you...
Forever love,
Karen
O Lord, I am torn up with grief.
I know you are there, but I cannot see past
my sorrow and tears.
Be with me, Lord, and do not take
my unhappiness to heart.
Rather, work within me to guide me through
these dark days
and bring your light to my life,
so that I may see your goodness, even in my mourning.
