I thought we would be great friends. Well, you started out with a slam on the breaks. As the months past the ride was bumpy but thankfully smoothed out. Just when I thought the first decade of the 21st century had taught me so much you came along and gave me more life lessons. This year was about those who surround me. I realized that my grandfather is right, “Blood is thicker than water”. A support system is key to surviving human life. Depending on people is not something I do, but I grew to be accustomed to it. Every time I thought I could not go on you pushed me, every time I wanted to give up a sign from above said ‘No’. And when I thought having fun was not going to happen, you gave me laughs, smiles and memories that are irreplaceable. You taught me that life is shorter than people think and that at the blink of an eye your whole world can change. Taking people for granted is a sin; love and laughter are medicine for the soul. And when one grows tired and weary, they should take a nap…and keep it moving.
To 2012,
I have no idea what to expect of you. Maybe I shouldn’t expect anything. I just hope you are a year filled with health and blessings from above.
Thank you to my family and true friends, I hope I am and have been there for you as much as you have been for me. I love you all!
Wishing you a Happy New Year!
Yours truly,
Yours truly,
Elyse
