2009 has been a very hard year for me and my family. We lost the matriach of the family, my Mom, suddenly in March and since that time our family has been struggling to keep our chin up and honoring her memory by going on with life. She wouldn't want any of us to stop enjoying every moment but at times it is very hard to not look back with a tear in your eye and a ache in your heart. All of us has had a big adjustment and different challenges come up when we have had to depend on our lessons she taught us and forge a new path.
On the other hand, it is very true that a person finds their true friends in times of hardship. When my world felt like it was falling apart, friends came and helped pick up the pieces and was just there for a shoulder to lean on. For those who have been there for my family, I thank you.
As the song says,
"For old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
and auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne."
God Bless you all and Happy New Year!

A Happy New Year to you too Carol! I know how hard it is to lose your mum - mine passed away in 2002, and still miss her!
Hope 2010 is better for you and your family.
Happy New Year, Carol. Here's to better times ahead!
Hi Carol--Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I'm always happy to meet new stitchers (especially those named Carol!).
Tears came to my eyes when I read about your dear mother--you are so, so young to lose her and I am dreading losing my own mom some day--she is my best friend.
I hope 2010 is a better year for you and your family...
