And with a relieved heart I will be glad to see 2004 end. In the last three months:

My mother in law was laid off.
My husbands grandfather was diagnosed with cancer.
My bestfriends grandmother died.
My neighbor/friend's uncle had a stroke.
His (the above mentioned) girlfriends best friend died in a car crash.

So, enough is enough. Bring on 2005.

My parents left today. They were here for 4 days and it was wonderful. My father and my hubby got along really well. My parents and my in laws hit it off all over again. My mom had perm-a-grin over seeing her grandsons again, it was so wonderful to see. I was so happy to have them here.

And then they left.

Today at 1pm, for the first time in 15 years my father told me he was proud of me and he loves me. And then he walked away.

They've been gone for 10 hours and I miss them already. My husband printed out 8x10's we took while they were here, he put them in frames. He hates when I'm sad and his amazing heart always knows how to make it better.

Christmas was great, we laughed until we cried, we ate until we burst and we told old stories while we drank coffee around the table... but I'm still glad it's over.

2005 will be our new start. A new chance at having better luck, better laughs and better friendships.

Happy fucking new year.
