Then you could just breeze through the break-ups, enjoy the good times and know that more would be coming soon. *sigh*sassyhttp://tableofive.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235785.post-6172904352732193402009-04-21T19:39:00.000-04:002009-04-21T19:39:00.000-04:00Great story!

The side that resulted tragically. Tragically because I lost my wonderful dad. There was no chance to look into it, read up on it, ask a doctor, nurse, hubby or friend. He just went. Health, he had it, a second chance he did not. <BR/><BR/>It seems so dumb and cliche when we hear quotes or comments like "live life as if it were your last day", "never go to bed angry" and my all time favortie "che-sara, sara", but once you there, all this cliche banter is what you want one more chance to embrace. I was reading your blog through tears thinking "here is a woman, who I only knew for a short while in my life, but learned so much from. A woman I respect and admire for "her single mom days" a woman who knew fun, "la joie de vivre", as best she could. A woman who, undoubtable can stand in front of those who need her and they would feel safe. This is how it shall end, this is a pain in the ass (again, no punn intended) But I kept reading and...whew...I will now learn more and more from Karen...blessed Karen! Blessed are your kids who will not be sharing broken-hearted blogs, but rather a REAL LIVE MAMMA. blessed. I love you Karen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235785.post-90520014688703668352008-11-20T19:01:00.000-05:002008-11-20T19:01:00.000-05:00holy sweet baby jesus.HUG.And I can't wait to pinc...holy sweet baby jesus.<BR/>HUG.<BR/>And I can't wait to pinch yer bum!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Whew.juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395409766173276668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235785.post-54175877915561273362008-11-11T15:36:00.000-05:002008-11-11T15:36:00.000-05:00Good post.Good post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235785.post-71173899682670211452008-10-21T22:19:00.000-04:002008-10-21T22:19:00.000-04:00Joseph, thanks so much for stumbling across my blo...Joseph, thanks so much for stumbling across my blog and for your comment...your insights are good reminders and great feedback...<BR/>:)KarenSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13291037932442937893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235785.post-49967301416347647082008-10-10T08:03:00.001-04:002008-10-10T08:03:00.001-04:00Hi Karen,After reading this blog I thought to myse...Hi Karen,<BR/><BR/>After reading this blog I thought to myself well if that's her biggest problem, then not bad as problems go. Although I am with you 100% your interjections if as constant as you say that they are would be troublesome to a certain group of people. I also noticed as I read on that you are not being defensive about your habit, so that tells me that your not in the state of denial and that in itself is very positive. So the bottom line from me to you is that the love from the important people in your life must come to you unconditionally. You are who you are and I;m sure since you are so aware of your affliction you will tone it down a bit, but by no means you just can't totally stop cause if you do you wouldn't be Karen.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>JosephJoseph M.
