(My apologies for the lateness of yesterday's 'korner'. Sometimes things get stuck and don't go out and I didn't catch it until later in the day!)

(Also I will be away from my computer this coming week. Look for the next Karen's Korner on Monday, August 4!)


This coming Monday, July 28, it will be 26 years since our daughter Merry died.

I had about 26 years of my life without her, before she was born.

She was 26 when she passed away.

And now 26 years without her.

But there are 26 years. And more coming into eternity; when we get to be together again!

Some people hate anniversaries like this. I like to celerate Merry's memory. I have a book where people, lot of people, wrote her memories. Me included.

Here is one of mine:

When Merry was a baby and I would rock her, I know she was one side or the other of one, when I would sing "You are my sunshine" or "Jesus loves me", she would make sounds and go up and down at just the right spots.

I should have known it could have been an indication of an upcoming hobby or career of music.

Or as one person penned at the end of my writing:

"The song has ended
but the melody lingers on!"
~ Irving Berlin

Thank You,
God,
for taking care of 'things'.
Merry,
me
our family
life
eternity.
You make sense
out of things that
sometimes make
no sense!
Amen.
