Joey Saying
I am sorting Karen's computer and found files labeled by each of her children and siblings names. This was found and simply titled "Joey saying". With it was also this pic.
Joey Is Home!
Through the miracle of friendship, Joey is home. Karen's dear friend Erika and her family found a way to help Joe return to Michigan. What a wonderful way to comfort our family in this tough time.
Joe certainly didn't want to be far from home and family, but Michigan's economy has forced many to seek work wherever they could find it. After hearing about Joe's sadness at leaving to return to Kansas, they went into action. A week later, he had a place to live, a promise of a job and he was back in Michigan.
Erika and Karen had gone their separate ways after high school, losing touch. A week before her death, Karen called me just giggling with excitement. "Mom, you will never guess who found me? ERIKA!" She was so excited about their plans to get together, wanting Erika to meet her children and asked me if I would like to join her, Erika and Ann, Erika's Mom for lunch. Karen then ran on for at least 30 minutes, remembering all the good times she and Erika had shared. She was SO excited.
Erika and Karen never got to have that lunch. Instead, Erika and her family reached out to Joe. Thanks to the Ernst family, Alexis will see her Daddy this weekend, Catie can't wait to see Uncle Joe and as for Joe and I.....we want to hold all our children close right now, more than anything.
God works in mysterious ways, using all his angels here on earth...wonder if he got a nudge from Karen this week?
