Thoughts
They say that someone is never truly gone until you stop remembering them.
I think there is truth in this...
When you left this earth Karen, a great part of me went missing...
But I think you left some of yourself behind for me to find...
When you left this earth I gathered your things and held them close...
I closed my eyes and for a moment it felt like you were here with me again...
When you left this earth I went through our pictures, I studied your face harder than I ever have...
And for a moment those pictures brought you to life once more...
When you left this earth, I found as many reasons as I could to talk about you Karen...
I tell stories about you, and for a moment we are living in those memories again...
Every day I find as many reasons as I can to remember you...
I find as many reasons as I can to not let the rest of you leave this earth...
And every day it brings me peace to know that as long as I remember you...
A part of you will always be here with me...

I've bought the flowers, and written the card,
Who would of thought this day would be so hard.
We take for granted the love that we share,
Always thinking it will always be there .
But you are not here, your far from this place,
Where love waits eternal and our next loving embrace....
Happy Valentine's Day, Karen my dear darling wife,
Forever and always, you'll be my life.

As the clock strikes midnight tonight, bidding farewell,
To a year of shadows, where sorrows swell.
In the echoes of time, a tale of despair,
The Year I lost you, my love no longer there.
Gone is the year, with its weight so severe,
A chapter closed, shedding a silent tear.
Through the trials endured, the battles fought,
In the echoes of silence, my loved one sought.
The calendar turns, a new year awaits,
Yet my heart carries burdens, heavy as weights.
My loved one lost, a void so black,
In the sands of time, if I could just have you back.
For in the hallowed halls of grief I tread,
A symphony of sorrow, where tears are shed.
My loved one's absence, a vacant chair,
A void in my heart, beyond repair.
Yet in the ashes of pain, a phoenix may rise,
As I navigate loss, beneath tear-stained skies.
For memories linger, like a gentle song,
In the bittersweet notes, I find strength to belong.
So here's to the year, with its trials untold,
And the loved one I cherished, now resting in gold.
As I step into tomorrow, with hope in my eyes,
May healing come, as a new year dawns, and old one sighs.
In the tapestry of time, where losses are weaved,
May love's eternal thread be perceived.
For in the heart's gallery, where memories are spun,
The light of my Karen outshines the setting sun.
You were the star that guided my way,
A beacon of light with each passing day.
Ryan still can't believe your not with us any more,
He lingers in hope you will walk through the door.
Karen you have left a space in my heart so vast,
A life lived and loved with memories cast.
I miss your smile, your laugh and your tears,
I will miss them more with the passing years.
