Tomorrow is the very last day of 2009. What a year it has been! The hope of a nation with the inauguration of a new, youthful president. The economy shaking up the entire world. The HN-N1 virus. More and more American children going to bed hungry. The effect of computer generated images will have on films as evidenced in Avatar. More and more people becoming hooked on technology yet becoming further and further from making real human connections. Having both of my children move closer to home. Becoming a facilitator for other teachers to achieve advanced certification through National Boards. And of course, cancer. I say good-bye to this year with both joy and sadness. I am overjoyed to say that the bad parts of the year are over and done with. They will be locked into memory, to be taken out in small doses for occasional review, but they will not become the focus of my future. But I am also sad to say good-bye to the constant, daily and intensive support and nurturing of the last year. The number of people who rallied around to lift me and my precious ones up during the time of illness...I cherish those memories. Those memories are not the ones I will lock away under heavy guard only to be let out for small glimpses. Those dear and precious memories will be held fast, clutched in my arms to guide me and delight me.
Thank you for your part in this last year. I don't know what my future holds, but know that together we can face anything! Fare Well, 2009!
