The Love of My Life

One year ago today
The love of my life faded away
Which opened the door
To a new way

Though times are rough
And facing life is tough
Gentle thoughts of you
Get me through

Remembering the years we shared
Without a care
And the deep undying love
That came from above

So do not fret
I'll never forget
The love we shared
Without despair

For now you are gone
And I'm all alone
But you'll always have my heart
That much I know

Days come and end
Memories are sometimes bright and dim
Til we meet again
I'll love you til the end

Love Karene

(p.s. A few weeks ago these words kept swirling and swirling around in my head. I just felt compelled to write them down. I wrote this in about 5 minutes. The strange thing is that I have never written anything, especially a poem, in my life. Craig was the poet.) Love you, my darling !

Katie's Quilt

Hi Everyone, well I survived my first holiday without Craig. It was happy and sad. I've been keeping busy with working two jobs and quilting. I made this adorable quilt for my great-niece, Kate's, second birthday. She is the most gorgeous little girl...but yeah, I'm prejudicious. Anyway, this is for her "big girl" bed when she gets it. My niece, Tricia (Katie's mom) will send me another picture of the quilt when she finally gets the bed, but I wanted to post a picture of it now. Happy Birthday, little darling !!!



















All my love


"Auntie" Karene
