While my optimism for the new year wasn't exactly unfounded, I've already been dealt a few bad cards.
My grandmother passed away shortly after I began my new job. I flew in to Buffalo for the funeral. The wake was a three-day ordeal that only served to prolong the hurt, but it was incredible to see how many lives she touched. I only hope that I affect as many people with my own life.
edit (02/29/08): and now my girlfriend and I have parted ways... awesome, 2008, awesome.
edit (03/03/08): and now my mother is in the hospital for something potentially very serious.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Luckily there is still a lot of year left for good things to happen.
