You know those people that come into your life and make you a better person? That was Karen. She lived across the street from me in college and was such an amazing woman.<\/p>\n
And I miss her so freakin much.<\/p>\n
She passed away in May 2006 and every so often I’ll think of her and get really upset that she isn’t in my life anymore. Her birthday is\/would be 10 days after our anniversary. But I’ll never get to wish her another happy birthday.<\/p>\n
I’ve tried finding her husband, but he doesn’t appear to have a Facebook account. He isn’t FB friends with Karen’s son, nor can I remember his daughters names. I wanted to tell him that I too got married in Vegas, as they did, and when we saw the ship show at Treasure Island, I thought of them.<\/p>\n
I just really really started missing her today. To the point of going back through my Livejournal and reading everything I’d written about her. She was such a great friend and surrogate parent to me during the 12 years we were friends. Last night (as I was writing in bed at 4am) I was crying. Big fat tears were rolling down my face.<\/p>\n
