[tele7]

<p>..and may you continue to laugh with her.&nbsp; I lit a candle for Karola tonight, not a regular candle, but one of those fancy ones.&nbsp; I will be sure to re-light it on Christmas day in memory of her.&nbsp; All the best to you and your family.&nbsp;</p><p>Sincerely, Tom</p>

[reeshy]

<p>Thanks Tom,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I normally don't talk about stuff like this .....but .....well you know!!!!!!!!&nbsp;</p>

[narc]

My thoughts will be with you and her tomorrow.

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>It's nice you keep up with the traditions you and your boys do. I cannot even comprehend losing my wife, I have three kids and would be lost. I don't know if I would be strong enough to be a good, positive figure for my children.</p><p>I commend you for being able to keep up with it, for being able to relive memories and for being able to share with us. I hope that if I'm faced with this situation I can be as strong as you.</p><p>It's inspiring....really.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Snacks]

<p>I dont cry often, but reading your post made me a little emotional. Sorry for your lose. That sounded like true love. I feel like I have been in love a few times, but that just sounds different. SomethingI think everyone wishes they can have. I know I hope to find a women thaqt makes me feel the way you did. </p><p>Like you said dont cry, think of the good and enjoy your kids!!!</p>

[reeshy]

Yea...my kids help me alot.....My daughter, janine, is a cop on the NYPD and my son, Mike, is a fireman with FDNY....like his grandfather!!!!!!!!

You have kids that are cops and firemen already. I always thought you were in your mid 30's maybe 40. Please dont tell me your a grandfather, I couldnt beleive it!</p>

[weekapaugjz]

reeshy, that post was amazing.&nbsp; i come from a similar situation, my father died when i was a baby but my mom still raised me and my brother with a positive attitude as i see you do with your children.&nbsp; i am sorry to hear for your loss, bad shit always seems to happen to good people.

[reeshy]

<p>Thanks Week,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>sorry about that stupid post before!!!!&nbsp;</p>

[weekapaugjz]

[sr71blackbird]

<p>Kevin,<br /><br />I am greateful I still have all those I love around, and I am sure I will be as devistated as you were when you lost her. I am gladened to see that time does soften the wounds somewhat and you are happy and life goes on.&nbsp; Im happy for you and Karola!</p><p>Joe</p>

[Bulldogcakes]

<p>Ouch. Right before Christmas, that had to be rough. <br /><br />Reesh, look at it this way. Alot of people never have what you did, even if i didn't last as long as you'd hope. I think we all figure out at some point life doesn't always go the way you think its &quot;supposed to&quot;, whatever the fuck that means. 'Better to love and lose' and all that stuff.&nbsp; </p><p>Peace bro. And Merry Christmas. &nbsp;</p>

[moochcassidy]

[Kevin]

Hey Reesh i am sorry to hear about your loss. This time of year must be tough for you. I keep hearing the saying its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. As a young person that does not hit hit me yet. My question to you is, is that a right saying? Would you go through the same thing again if you had the chance knowing that you would have to go through the pain of losing the person you love again? Would you do it all over again?

[reeshy]

Yup in a heart beat.....but I better be the one who dies first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tall_James]

Reeshy - it sounds like God really blessed you when he brought Karola into your life.&nbsp; Everyone should feel that joy once in their life.&nbsp; I will include her and your family in my Christmas prayers tomorrow.&nbsp;

[Fez4PrezN2008]

Reeshy -&nbsp;Thinking&nbsp;of you and&nbsp;your family. Wishing only warm thoughts and good memories. &nbsp;

[reeshy]

<p>You know, james.....I loved that woman with all of my heart and soul...when she died...I actually put my gun to head....but I didn't kill myself...I trudged on ...I went to work ...I paid the bills....took care of my kids....then one day....I woke up and realized...I didn't lose Karola.....she's still with me...right now...I have the Kinks playing&quot;Just Dance&quot;...that was her and my favorite song....we would dance in our living room to that song...now I'm dancing with her again...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>thanks again....and Merry Cristmas!!!!!!&nbsp;</p>
