I know, it is a sensitive, and depressing topic, but I am just missing Karen so much tonight, I think its because someone posted a link of Jenny Sinclair ( Karen sound alike ) earlier, its not fair, Karen should be the one singing those songs, my thoughts are usually " it's OK, shes in Heaven now, she is free " but tonight, its so sad, listening to the solo album, there was just so much potential for so many songs left unsung, listening to the upbeat fun songs on the albums, it makes you wish that she had lived to be 110, does anyone else feel this way, I mean dang, I shoulden't be greeving for someone that I never met, and never even lived the same time that she did, but can't help it, such a wonderful, beautiful girl, but atleast we can take comfort in the fact that she saved so many lives by making the public aware of anorexia, but then again she could have done that in her life, her life was about to take a huge turning point when sh died, does anyone think that maybe she died when she did for a reason, perhaps she would have been at an all time misrable if she had lived, I am having conflicting emotions, but the outcome is clear ( sadness ) look back at ticket to ride, and close to you, such innocence, so many hopes and dreams for all of the tommorows to come just makes you

Yes, Its pretty unfair and I go through those frustrated moments where I wish she never died and get upset Karen is really gone and the way she went and when. Its really maddening and upsetting. I always like the talents of people who somehow leave this life way too early when they had so much to give and so much to live ahead for in life if they made it.

If I could stop thinking that I see Karen's sillouete in every shadow, seeing her in every cloud, hearing her in the wind, everything, trying to see her in other people, if I could get it through my head that the world does not revolve around Karen ( mine does, infact my universe does )
ignorence is bliss, I wish that I could go back to knowing nothing, I knew that she died, I didn't know when, what age, and I thought it was cancer for some reason, I really wish that I could avoid ever knowing that she died,I really wish that she were still alive, but that is impossible, I wish that I could just forget about it, it seems childish to be so upset so often over someone you never knew, such a wonderful person, I would like to think that Karen could somehow see us from heaven, if she only knew that she had so many people genuinely care about her, I would give my life if it would save hers, if only she knew that she could have touched so many generations, she has touched four generations in my family, it is so hard to dwell on only the good things, people were so mean to her, she deserved so much better, so many sleazy articles that cut her down, it makes you want to hunt those people down and brutally murder them, like they did to her, she was quite obviously insucure, and they had to know it, that makes me mad, they had to know it by 1975 when she was staring her extreme slimming, Karen was mistreated by so many, if she could have just realized how many loved her

I know how you feel. I love Karen deeply and I miss her everyday. I feel like I knew her, personally. It hurts that I never even got to tell her how I feel and stuff. I could've wrote a letter to her, atleast.

Yeah that's something that bothers me. Its not that I can't ever experience a concert with Karen's voice in person, its not being able to have the chance to have told her how much her voice and music affected me in my life for good. I have written letters to people whose work I respect and I would have sent something to Karen. But there is nothing I can do to share my feelings about the best thing in my life when the person who contributed the joy is unreachable for comment and appreciation.

And it seems Karen would have been likely to have send something back to you, as Richard does with the Carpenters fans that write him.

Yeah, it's exactly that. I never had the chance to see her in concert, meet her, or even write a letter to her. I can't help that I was born in 1989, but I just wish I had that chance. It's just something that I have to deal with. I feel so happy knowing, this great group that I love so much, was popular at one time. I envy those who got to enjoy it, but alot of times, took that enjoyment for granted. I wish I was alive to experience the music when it was loved by everyone. I could turn on the radio and hear them, you know? My Mom and Dad were never fans, but my Mom respects the Carpenters. She admits that she hums the songs in the car on the way to work. I blast the Carpenters all of the time, so it's pretty much impossible to not be exposed to them in my home.

I should write a letter to Richard. Atleast, express how I feel to the legend that himself is.

Nice post AaronC

I miss her too, especially after reading your post. Feels good though. Sounds kinda weird, but sometimes everyday life takes over. It feels comforting to miss her again.

Mikey.

Aaron C, I know exactly what you are talking about! I feel the exact same way. You are incredible, I thought I was the only person who felt like that. At least now I know I am not the only one in the world who feels this way. There is another human being who feels this way. Now, I am slowly beginning to feel less weird. Thank you.

Its nice to know that there are several people that feel like that, and to have some place to talk about it, if I were to even try to explain to my family, they would laugh me out of the room

Sad. But true.
