**yes, this is a late post***
Wow, looking back on my blog posts, I haven't been here all last year. 2013 has not been kind...
2013 has been a tough year…Beginning of the year was difficult, and ended just as painful. In the beginning of the year I almost lost my father. He had heart surgery, and I returned home to help my mom get him back on his feet. At the end of the year, I lost my mom to cancer…parents are precious, but we take them for granted until we lose them, or almost lose them. It makes you wonder how you can protect them like they protected us when we were kids. My dad has shown me that no matter how old he gets, he's still looking after his kids, and making sure we make the right choices. After those 2 events, I don't know if anything else in 2013 was as important…I returned to school for a Masters Degree, but that doesn't seem as important as our loss and near loss.
I pray that 2014 will be filled with blessings, so abundant that 2013 is just a speed bump in life. 2 years ago, I started my blessing list, but I didn't continue it. I stopped at #87. Let's see if I can reach to 1000 by the end of this year. Remind me if you don't see that list growing.
