Happy New Years Eve!  I was thinking about this year in all.  It was hell in so many ways but I don't feel like whew, let's get this one out of here as you might expect from a year like one my family has had. 

Sam could have died and didn't.  He is recovering and with us.  Tony could have died and didn't.  He is fixing our garage door with Rob.  I am going to have another child (a girl!).  Bec is going to have another child (a boy)!  Although this year brought us pain and tragedy, it also taught us a lot.  I do wish none of those horrible events had occurred but that would be a wasted wish.  We have met so many wonderful people through our difficult times.  We have been put on display through our difficult times.  It has made me realize how awesome and strong we all are.  How devoted and attached.  I always knew I loved my family but I never realized that I was living without regret.  It is so important to treat others as you should on a daily basis.  It has made me realize this even more.  So goodbye to 2005.  It was a tough one.  May the year 2006 continue to bring us miracles, healing, love and each other.
