Adios 2008
This year has been the biggest year of my life by far. On the upside I have successfully graduated from school, moved out of state, moved in with a boy, got a job, got 2 jobs, got 3 jobs. Found out I am the queen of zippers and it is possible to sew 4 pairs of pants before noon. I also got a chance to go California and back to London with some French exploration.
On the downside I have to pay big girl bills and don't get to see my friends as much as I would like. The biggest thing of course was the growing knot of fear in my stomach that started in April when I visited dad in the hospital a couple days before my graduation and spiralled into a haze in October. It finally settled in when dad and I didn't get our Christmas tree this year - I brought a spray of fresh greenery to him and saw his name plate stuck into the snow covered ground.
Since October 18th I have been able to go 11 days at the most with out finding out someone else I know has died. There must be something real good up there right now. But this is why I just want 2008 to be over with - 2009 has to be better down here.
