Over the last couple months I’ve started a half dozen blog posts, but keep deleting them before posting. I’m not quite sure how to describe how I feel. The anniversary of Karen’s passing is causing me some distress, so it’s been a bit challenging to post things on Karen’s blog that don’t reflect my state of mind once I start writing about her. She certainly wouldn’t want me posting sad posts for our friends.
The anniversary of Karen’s passing is approaching rapidly, so I felt that I needed to at least set a date for the gathering.
I’d like to invite you out to “Ironwood Manor” on June 22nd to celebrate Karen’s birthday (which is June 20th). I’ll post more details in the coming weeks, but I’m sure that you know that no celebration of Karen’s life could every happen without a bonfire. This means that it will go at least until after dark.
I’ll have dinner catered, so no worries about food, but you can bring anything you’d like. BYOB, but there will be children here, so we’ll imbibe with restraint.
I hope to see you there.
I will be there, Charlie, celebrating Karen’s new re-birthday in heaven. If I can borrow a quote from Dr. Seuss, ” Don’t cry because it’s over, SMILE because it happened.
I’ll try to be there! I know how difficult that anniversary is, because I still feel it every year regarding Danielle. My prayers are for you continually! Love you!
Thanks Charlie for planning this. I continue to hold you up in prayer and comfort. ? I hope to bring my whole family.
