A reason to get started..


My Mother-In-Law died a little over a week ago, unexpectedly. She was only 62, and died in her sleep. Unfortunately her husband didn't find her for 3 days, and that has made everything even more traumatic. You know the saying, that there are things you can't un-see. It is a shocking discovery to find the love of your life dead at 3:30 in the morning, when you are actually hoping to surprise them by coming home early. And my poor husband, waking up to his frantic father knocking on our front door. My husband's brother died just short of 2 years ago, so it has been a really dark time for him. So perhaps this is my tiny little memorial to them, and their crazy love affair which spanned over 45 years. God Bless you Karen. You will be missed, but we will never forget you. The photo is one they took while they were dating. They looked so happy.
