2014 sucked. There was a lot of pain, anger, grief, and a plethora of other emotions that when mixed together added up to be quite depressing. Although I knew that the possibility of my father's death could occur this year, I never knew how to prepare for it. I thought I knew exactly what I was going to say, how my grieving process was going to be, and who I would turn to for support. Nothing happened the way I thought it would; my father didn't die at home, when the time came to say goodbye I was speechless, I barely cried the week he passed, and I found that I enjoyed being by myself rather than with a bunch of people.
People always use this time of year as an excuse to make a change in their life and to create unrealistic resolutions, my goal is to stay clear of this. Contrary to making a resolution I decided to create a list of things to be grateful for because you never know what the year will end up bringing.
My Mother
I have said it before and I will say it again, she is the most humble human with a heart of gold.
My Brother
Although we sometimes clash, I am so proud of him and love him infinite amounts.
My Father
He passed away, but the lessons he has taught me and the memories we shared will last a life time.
My Friends
You know who your are and why I appreciate all of you.
My Cousins
Thanks for being the biggest goof balls ever.
My Pets
Benson, Bill, and Gertrude... you are the best medicine and snuggle buddies anyone could ever ask for.
Food & Red Wine
I love you.
Also, all of my sentimental items... I do not feel the need to share those with you but they mean the world to me.
This year focus on those close to you.
Have a happy, safe, and healthy 2015!
