My Christmas Wish
It's been a while since you've heard from me. However, most of my readers know what kind of year I've had. This season is often hard for those who have lost loved ones during the previous year and this year is not an exception for me an my family. I lost both my mother and my first child, yet at the same time my mom was united with her first grandchild in August.
I believe and know that I will see them again some day in Heaven, so I am both happy and sad. This year has shown me some tremendous trials and hopefully growth. God has blessed me with a wonderful job and has drawn me closer to the rest of my family and friends.
As I look back at this rough year full of ups and downs, I can't help but wish for peace, hope and strength for some of you and others who will never read this. I have made lots of mistakes this past year, some of those I wish I could take back and hope I have the chance to in 2005. Please know that I would do anything for my friends and family and ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is give me a call or email.
Thank you for being there for me in 2004. May God Bless you this Christmas and as you head into this New Year.

Honey...I love you. 2005 is going to be our year. You are such a kind person with such a big heard and sweet spirit, all the things I love about you. And for those who choose not to see it, they are missing out on a great person. Merry Christmas!

G'day Marc
My sympathies about your kid, and your mother.
25 years ago, I became quite sick. I got over it, but the unsuccessful chemotherapy did some fairly severe damage. The odds of me ever becoming a father were at most, 1%.
Our son Andrew is now 3, going on 3 1/2. About 5 years ago, we had the first of a number of miscarriages. The last one happened while Carmel was undergoing an ultrasound, and she got to watch the whole process.
Somehow, she retained her sanity. I don't know how. But the fact that we had miscarriages gave us hope, when for nearly two decades there'd been precious little. We kept on trying, and when we were both in our 40's, we hit the jackpot. Andrew had a minor congenital abnormaility, non-chromosomal and easily surgically corrected. I just wish my Dad had lived to see him.
What I'm saying is to keep on plugging. All the best to you and your family, and may the joys of 2004 be more than doubled in 2005, and the sorrows more than halved.
