Without
a trace of sarcasm or irony, I say this now - I damn well know how to pick ‘em.
After
waiting so impatiently for December to chase November out of my life, only to
have it end up yet another source of looming gloom, it ended up being one of
the best farewells to a year I’ve ever had.
Though
it was sad, at times painfully so, not having any family around over the
holidays (particularly considering December is THE month for us), it allowed me
the chance to see just how wonderful the family I have chosen really is.
I love
every single one of you.
You
were the most wonderful gift 2011 could have possibly ever given me.
