And there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last.
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on
To these moments as they pass

My theme for 2010.
My dad's loss was the most painful for me, but he was not the only one. Holiway's sister Margaret and her husband Bud, Scott's aunt Robin and uncle Donald, Richard Boone's wife Priscilla, Scott's friend Brian. We're both a little tired of saying goodbye at funerals.
So much to be thankful for, however. Our family is well, we are getting better all the time, we have all that we need and a little extra besides, and I am a happy, happy person. I hope that in the coming year I will discover more of what my Heavenly Father has in his plans for me and that those I love will uncover more joy in their lives. It's our time and I want to make the most of it!
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. (Charles Schultz)
