Looking back on 2005 and all that it entailed, I realized I've learned quite a bit this past year. That in itself is an amazing thing, but I have decided to share my infinite wisdom, in the hopes you won't have to learn things the hard way.
- If you start the year with one of your parents in ICU - dying - for the first 3 months of the year, chances are things won't get much worse for the rest of the year. (He didn't, by the way)
- If you don't like to fly, don't plan your entire vacation in a locale you can't reach by car. Think, people.
- Even though I live in the same city as my brother, I talk to him almost every day, but only by email; however, when he leaves for a month and I can't talk to/see him when I choose, I want him to come home and never leave. Once he's home, all bets are off.
- Tattoos hurt. A lot.
- There are worse things than driving a suppository. I'm sure of this, although I don't have any proof just yet.
- There comes a time when your children are old enough to put together their own Christmas toys. What a fantastic year.
- A year without an overnight (or 18) at MUSC is a wonderful thing. Two years running is a glorious blessing.
- Families with more than 2 adult children are just asking for trouble.
Last year was a long, hard year for our family. This time it was the extended family with the troubles; they stayed pretty clear of our little household. Even so, we were all extremely blessed and continue to be. The best things in life are family and friends.
