The Lost Year

Last year was a big year for our family. So much was lost and so much was gained. It was a year of life, and a year of death. There were some wonderful full moments for us, and then the rest just seemed to happen. My sister April passed away February 2007 and it felt as though the year went by with me in a haze most of the time. That haze is just now starting to lift a little. It is crazy the way life happens. "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away" and we decided what to do with what we have at any given moment. When we face life with a grateful heart we can never be sad for too long, and yet the fog still persists. I am going to highlight the big events from last year before I move on to the present. This will be my attempt at re-gaining part of the last year that seems lost. It is my tribute to my dearest April whom I miss with all my soul and my tribute to those still with me who are also near and dear to me.
