A lot of people like to summarize their year by month, remembering the little things that happened. My summary is a piece of shit.<\/p>\n
The entire year pretty much came to a grinding halt when Devin died. I mean, for us that will always be the entirety of 2008: our son died, we held a funeral, and we tried to get back on our feet. That was it, the whole year. I was really hoping we could end the year on a good note, with a new pregnancy to celebrate, but apparently not. So 2008 will remain, forever more, the death of our son and our inability to get pregnant again.<\/p>\n
But there were other craptastic things that happened this year.<\/p>\n
My brother’s dog died of cancer at a very young 3 years old.<\/p>\n
My MIL was diagnosed with cancer. At this point it appears they removed it all and she is in full remission, but of course she won’t get the final report on that until early 2009.<\/p>\n
And most recently, my last living grandparent had a stroke the week before Christmas (was still in the hospital for Christmas). She does look to be recovering, however she is 94 years old so no one is really thinking positive if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n
Of course there were good things that happened around us this year. The birth of our Neice. My brother getting a new pup. I got a new job with full IVF coverage.<\/p>\n
But really, 2008 sucked monkey balls and I am really, REALLY looking forward to the new year. I need a blank slate. I know life doesn’t really work like that… there’s no such thing as starting over, you can’t change what happened. But I have hope that 2009 will bring with it new luck for us… a new outlook, and new hopes and dreams. Hopefully a new baby.<\/p>\n
Please let 2009 be different. Please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
