Dear Karen,

Are you happy? DO you ever REGRET living? WTF How is it possible to live carrying the weight of the world, receiving no recognition and working without support? I notice you’ve been slowing down? Who really cares for you, Karen? You deserve more in life. You should be traveling. You deserve nothing but the best. Thank you for your sacrifices. Don’t allow people to steal your spirit. Sending hugs. Never allow someone else to hurt you again. Sending kisses. Be proud of what you have done to help others. Sending love. God will reward you in your afterlife. Sending you Peace.

I love you, Karen Overhill!

Dear Mil,

Many questions of concern! Thank you for caring. I’m not sure how to answer all your questions, but I’ll try to answer a few.

Happiness is what we make of our lives. I can be both happy at times and sad, just like everyone else; there are good days and bad days. Sure, I’d love to travel and someday I hope to. But what’s most important to me is to live my best life right now. Regret living? No, I don’t regret living, but I admit to having days in which I find it hard to live.

I’m not sure by what you mean by no recognition. For me, I’ve never needed to be recognized for all that I have done. I know I am appreciated. It is my hope to help others through sharing my story. I never regret answering questions or giving of myself. That never once crossed my mind. I believe I was meant to be doing exactly what I am doing right now.

Who cares for me? Many people. I feel cared for and that’s all that matters. I believe there are many levels of caring for someone. Everyone I know cares for me in one way or another. It doesn’t matter how much. I feel cared for by thousands.

Thank you for all your compliments. Thank you for appreciating my sacrifices and good deeds. I love hearing that. I’ll always try my best not to allow anyone to hurt me or steal my spirit. I have survived worse and I’m sure I’ll be okay. I am proud of my work with Dr. Baer and hope to continue to be one voice for the abused.

Karen
