2019 is fast approaching. In some ways, it is a curse. In others, a blessing. For some, quite welcome. For others, it was the last living year of a loved one. The beginning of a lifetime for others. The year has held many memories that will stay with all of us. The year has been a true rollercoaster for me, and I would expect the same from others. My Taika went missing in May, for two weeks. Every night, I cried myself to sleep. It was like losing my own son. When he returned, I knew. I knew what it felt like to lose someone. The loss of Taika for a while opened my eyes. True, there had been more than one loss in my family. But Taika's being missing hit me hard. But now I know. I know how it feels. That is why I made this. To celebrate the good things... to accept the bad things. Ready for a fresh start. And so, I wait. With welcoming arms.
