So my year did not end or begin with a BANG as I hoped for, well it did have a bang but let's just say not a pleasant bang. So let's start with December, my favorite month because yes it is my birthday month. So December begins FANTABULOUS, left New York after a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with the family, followed by graduation - yea ya'll I did it M.Ed. Adult Learning and Development and top of the class. WOW!! who would of guess that after 3 years for sleepless nights, stress break-outs, screams of frustrations with an occasional let me Google this professor cuz they about to make me lose my mind up in herre up in herre!! ..... uuumm would end up with a 4.0 G.P.A and head of the graduating class. Then I whisked myself away on a 6-day cruise (Grand Turk, Ochos Rios Jamaica and then Atlantis in the Bahamas) not to out do myself but spent the next 5 days in Tampa, FL for Christmas. YEAHHHH!! Great right!! Well my world took a twisted turn when the day after I got home my "mum" passed away.
What an emotional rush! Let me tell you something about death or passing of a loved one: If you do not have last words with that person - it will eat you up alive, it will burn your soul. You see, on Christmas morning I noted to my family to place a call to her, but with cooking, bonding, cleaning, laughing and enjoying the true meaning of Christmas and family time that time past us by. Around 1:00 AM I mentioned again (for the 3rd time) that we didn't call.................... well we never got the chance to again.
You hear people say all the time "life is short" but no one stops to think how short it can be, how short is short.. So, in 2014 I am making a conscience decision to say "I love you" "I am sorry" "I forgive you" "I need you" I want you" "I miss you" because it maybe the last time you say it............
CHEERS TO 2014!
