The Year of the Dog - A New Year to Enjoy



Well the 29th began a new Chinese year and this one is the Year of the Dog. I think this may be the year that our child arrives. You see both Scott and I were born in a Year of the Dog so it would just make sense that we should have a child in one. Good karma and all! Today however, is a difficult day for us. Last year at this time we learned that Scott's father has passed away and our life has changed greatly since then. We miss him alot and hate that he will never get to see any of our children. But during this year we have both grown and learned many things about how our lives can be better. We have learned not to take anything for granted and to make sure we spend time with our families because you never know when it will be taken away. We have gone through all of the steps from denial to anger to acceptance. So today I take a moment to thank Barry for being a wonderful father-in-law and a friend. I wish for him a greater peace than he had while he was with us and I encourage you to hug your friends and family and tell them you love them. You may not have tomorrow.
