The end of a year

As I look back at his year,I wonder some times about life. It was a very stessful year as far as the illness in our families... my dad found that his cancer was back in the spring of the year, he has been fighting hard, my father in law also found
out that he has cancer about mid August, he lost almost 100 lbs and did not have it to lose, regained some of it back and also fighting hard, but not feeling so good right now.
Two dear friends that we know have past away that are our age from cancer and heart
attack and it has made us reflect and look at all the good things we have in life.
The flood in our basement took alot out on me, lost alot of personal items that my kids made for me, that meant alot to me, holiday items and pictures of the past... the work that was involved in getting it in order... once Zesa finishes the last of the shelves I can go through some of the boxes and reorganize everything...
I have a good family and I'm thankful for each one of them, I'm going to try to take in all the precious moments that are in my life this coming year, the loved ones, because you don't know how long you will have them here
