Today would of been my Sisters 35th Birthday.

AM sitting here thinking of how I came to meet her, which was a miracle in itself.

I also re read her blog posts, and cant believe how strong she was, even when she found out the cancer had returned. She truly had a remarkable attitude to life, one from which we could all take a few tips from.

Spending time with her, looking after her for several weeks prior to her death, was one of the greatest privileges I have ever had. There were some great times, and lots of heart breaking times, but i will never forget her smile, and will always admire her strength. I really miss her, and even to this day, keep expecting her to ring, or pop round like she used to.

This time last year, I made her wear a silly wig, well we both did, for the whole day. What a sight we must of been, but at the same time, she had a beaming smile all day, which didnt fade. I think she had a great Birthday, and I was proud to have been a part of it.

RIP lil sis

    Remembering the good times are important, even though you and I only had a short time with Karen, we did have some fun.

    She was a remarkable woman and loved life til the end

    RIP Karen xxx

    Can't begin to understand how you are feeling but I know it must hurt - from what I saw when Karen was about and from your photos she would have taken lots of good memories with her - it's easy for people like me to say chin up but i've not been through it - so do the best you can guys and I think Karen would be sat there now saying thanks for what you have done - the kids are growing into wonderful people.

    Take care Magic and Chewy and all the family and hope to talk soon x x x x

    The ones we love are always with us as long as they are alive in our hearts, in our memories, as long as we expect them to ring, to come over, as long as we feel them in every little detail of our lives. This is how their lives continue around us because they are always together and next to us. I am sad to say that i did not know Karen, but from your words alone and the feelings put in words, i can say that Karen was/is the light of life, the bright and smiling lady. I still did not tell Rasmus about it and i do not know how to do it. I think that i know a little bit of how you must be feeling now because i have lost my Dad not so long time ago and miss him very much. All what you wrote of Karen feels so close and so true. Thank you for sharing your heart with all of us. I feel very proud of you because you are the best brother to be proud of, Magic. And i know that each time you smile and think of her, her beaming smile shines down from heaven in every sun beam. Thank you, Magic.
