turpsThere's less than four hours left in this year, and right now James is driving Corey to Newcastle so he can bring in the new year with his friends. Which is just as it should be. James will be home soon and we'll bring in our new year by watching tv and then going outside to watch the fireworks explode all over the horizon. It'll be nice and quiet and just how we like.
2015 has been a hard year. Starting in February when James had health issues, then broke his arm and then of course ending with dad with countless cases of mam drama in-between. I'm sitting here and can't quite get my head around the fact I'm about to start a new year dad will never see. He won't be here to help me grow the tomatoes or eat pies in the garden or just anything. I miss him so much. So very much.
But the year hasn't all been bad. I have a beautiful new nephew and Corey's had a good first term at uni. I do miss my baby boy, but at the same time, I'm getting to know the amazing man my son is becoming. I'm so incredibly proud of him and this last year he's done so much, that has to be celebrated.
I've lost my way fannishly a bit. I miss writing and the community that used to be around these parts, but you know what? Despite everyone scattering to other parts of the internet, when the bad things happened you came back. The people who I communicate with often, the ones only occasionally, yet more I hadn't talked to for months and in some cases, years. And yet, when I needed support you came. Thank you for that.
2016 stretches in front of me like a blank slate, and I hope it's going to be filled with good things. And I hope that's the case for everyone reading this too. That even if things aren't perfect your life will be happy, comfortable and full of people who love you.
That's my wish to you.
