Wow oh Wow.........where has this year wandered off to??? I am sitting here trying to remember the good things that happened in 2009.......but for me personally.........there has been so much stuff that has gone horribly wrong.....for now, those things seem to overshadow the good......
Since September, I have lost 3 members of either my family or my extended family. My father was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer in August and had to have the affected kidney removed. Because he is a Type 2 diabetic......the remaining kidney has been damaged and is just limping along......causing him to have to start dialysis....while he is now cancer free! He unfortunately at age 69, must remain cancer free for a minimum of 2 years to be put on a transplant list.........he's very upbeat about the situation and seems to be accepting what he's been dealt.
One of my closest friends lost her grandson to the hand of the babysitter in September.....seems charges will be filed shortly.......the situation just drags on and on never giving the family any closure or time to finish grieving..........they still have a long and horrible road ahead of them with the criminal aspect of the situation..........to think that an 18 month old baby lost his life at the hands of a lunatic is just inconceivable.........
I've already blogged about losing Kaci...........another stab to the heart............
In October, Duane lost his father to a sudden heart attack.
It is true that you never know what life has in store for you.
I apologize for the depressed attitude today.......these things are just overpowering my soul and I find them to be a bit overwhelming today.
I am trying to put myself in a better frame of mind while Duane is at the gym......Blogging helps and maybe a few cocktails will soften the blows for the evening.
I know in my heart that I have so much to be grateful for......and I am.........those things will again rise to the surface......but for today, at least for a little while........I am having myself a pity party.
So here's to you my friends! I hope time spent with your families over the Christmas holidays was everything you hoped for.
May you remain Healthy and Prosper in the New Year!!
xxoo

I'm so sorry to hear of the hard stuff you had to deal with last year. I can only hope and pray that 2010 looks much brighter and the hold in your heart will heal. Such a tragic thing for the parents of that 18 month old...what in the name of God happened? Hugs to you gf. xo
