Merry Christmas

Aliantha · 12-24-2009, 04:05 AM

I wanted to take a few minutes to wish you all a merry christmas and a very happy new year. I'll be hoping for a good one next year while I count the blessings from this one.

It's been a bit of a battle for me personally, and my whole family has struggled along with me, but we're starting to see a fair bit of light at the end of the tunnel now, so I have a lot of things to be thankful for.

There are those of you who have been very supportive of me during this time and I say thankyou from the bottom of my heart. In your own small way, you have made the road just a little less bumpy for me and knowing you've been here has truly made a difference to my life. Others have been very thoughtful and perhaps just didn't have the right words or may have felt I might not need their help, but I do know you have wished me well and I just wanted to acknowledge these thoughts from you. Your silent prayers have not gone un-noticed.

Things obviously have changed for me. I don't spend much time around this place anymore, but I guess that's a good thing really. For me anyway. When it starts not being fun anymore it's time to go. I do lurk about most days though, so don't think you can get away with any shenanigans without me knowing about it.

So, to all I say, may all your christmas wishes come true and your new year be filled with joy and happiness. Life is a struggle sometimes, but the rewards can be great. Be postive about your time on this planet and share your love freely...because it is free, so be generous.

Seasons greeting to you Ali. Enjoy the feast, but make the boys do the washing up.

All my very best wishes to you darling.
I know I miss you.
I'll write in the New Year - please keep in touch.

Remember when Max goes to school we're gonna tear up the UK together!
And the 'rents are half-thinking of a trip to Aus again next year (Aunty Alice's money is finally coming through, two years after her death) so if there's anything you want brought in their luggage - legally

- I'm sure they'd love to meet you.

Merry, merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all your clan.

When you're in the neighborhood, you're always welcome to stop in and use the bathroom, Ali.

I don't know what your personal problems are Aliantha, but I hope the new year sees you through them and you and your family find yourselves more healthy, wealthy, and happy.

I wish that for all of us... even UG.
