New Years

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year. It was one year ago for us that mom and dad made that call saying that they found spots on his pancreas and they were going to do a biopsy. Can't believe it's been a year since that fateful call -

It has been a rough last two years with losing Steve's dad in 2008 and then losing dad and Uncle Wally both in 2009 - it is easy to say the last two years have well basically sucked. And I thought 2010 was going to be a good year, start out well. Well Brayden's fish Scooby died this morning - just laying there, no movement. He was sad, very sad and cried a little bit. He had the fish for two years - it was a birthday present from Uncle Sean and well as we told Brayden it was his time to go. Brayden being the sweet boy that he is said well I think Grandpa and Grandpa just needed a pet so they took Scooby - I said you are probably right and they will take great care of him.

Took all the Christmas decorations down - house looks blah again. I love the holidays and decorating and having lights on and candles lit - it is just something in the air/atmosphere that just makes everything calm.

2010 - to a year of peace, year of health and happiness. To postivie thinking and to losing some pounds :)... To not worrying about trying to change the past because you can't - you just have to move on, to serving God and others, to putting yourself last and to being the person you were meant to be. 2009 was a lost year for me - I lost myself and who I was suppose to be. I am finding myself again and becoming at peace with who I am and with what I have lost - may 2010 also bring me a new job - which can't come soon enough - and to bring health and happiness to all our family and friends.

Thank you to each one of you who helped us through this past year - it was a difficult one for everyone - and through it all we have counted our blessings and held our loved ones close - may we continue to love each other, show the love for each other and speak the love to each other and just do it on a daily basis and not wait for a dreaded phone call saying spots have been found.

Heading out to watch the game - may everyone have a great rest of the weekend.

Here is to each one of you for a Happy and Healthy 2010 - may it bring you joy, love and happiness.

Miss and love you dad!

Much love to all,
