Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding...Proverbs 3:5

Dearest Michael~

Here I am, after a long bout of not writing on this blog...I've been keeping up with your caring bridge page, and that's about all I've been able to handle...I'm going to give that one up soon...I hate to, because in a way it will be like saying good-bye to you again, but it has almost become stressful...people expect me to be positive for them and give them the positive spin on my grieving and I can't do that anymore.

There are so many people out there that think they know what is best for me...you know the ones :) and you also know that I won't say anything to them, I will just withdraw from them a little at a time.  I am so tired of people saying crazy, weird things, or not saying anything at all...

I think I am just a bit bitter these days and I guess it's just another stage of grief...

I miss you...I miss so many things, but most of all I miss being with you and laughing with you...

Forever love,
Karen

Lord Jesus Christ, by your patience in suffering you hallowed earthly pain and gave us the example of obedience to your Father's will: Be near me in my time of weakness and pain; sustain me by your grace, that my strength and courage may not fail; heal me according to your will; and help me always to believe that what happens to me here is of little account if you hold me in eternal life, my Lord and my God. Amen.
