hi, I have recently had a very painful seperation from my partner of over three years. Since then however I have found that the love songs of the Carpenters kept my hope of falling in love again burning strong. It's really funny though, but in all the years I've been a Carpenters fan their music, especially Karen voice, has always given me a great sense of optimism when I need it the most. I will always love Karen since she inspires me day by day and alway will....Can anyone identify with my experience?...I'd like to hear from you...
