It’s not just the end of a year, but the end of a decade.

A decade!

Many momentous happenings.

  • The birth of a nephew, and with it, an epiphany that changed my life;  saved my life, even
  • The death of a brother
  • The birth, life, and death of a marriage; my marriage
  • The realization of motherhood; the birth of my two sons
  • First teeth, first words, first steps
  • Travels in far off places — Italy!  France!  Australia!
  • New friends in faraway places; friends in the blogosphere
  • Professional growth
  • A new car
  • A home of my own
  • The end of my parents’ marriage
  • New love and marriage for my mother
  • The beginning and end of a marriage for my brother
  • A new nephew; the realized dream of motherhood for my sister
  • Two other brothers married
  • A new niece on the way; the realized dream of fatherhood for my brother

Much love, sorrow, and joy, these past ten years, but overall, much, much joy.

Adieu, 2009.

Adieu.
