There's quite a handful of people that will be with me tonight at midnight, those whom I hold dear and have blessed me with their presence through the year, my family. Of all reasons to be thankful, this is the main, the foremost. My parents and grandfather are healthy and enjoying all opportunities that God send our way, and so are my sisters, their husbands and children. To them, I'll be able to say "I love you" face to face and it is an indescribable feeling, a chance not to be taken for granted.
I will dedicate this post though, to a number of my facebook peeps that correspond with me through the internets, shortening distances. So, to those I won't be seeing tonite, but to whom I type away every other day... this one's for you, in no particular order whatsoever ;p
The Friends:
- Mariah: May the New Year find you new wheels and give you a broader, bigger stage and may we find an opportunity to further our partnering in crime... I owe you one of those phone calls in which we check that we are not really mad at each other and just corroborate how lazy we both are :p. In the meantime lots of love and blessings.
- Robin: May the New Year bring you that one cape you've been missing... I do believe super heroes come from all walks of life and you do inspire me with your pieces of advise that keep adding spice to life... okay, what the heck, with JC's approval, may the year bring you the chance at a cup of coffee with Ryan Reynolds
- Mayra: I do wish the year will bring me a chance to go see you :) Let me tell you something that I might not have told you before, everytime you hit a "like" on one of my silly status, I feel like it is a bit of a push uphill, and I appreciate it. May the year find blessed and fulfilled and may it pay you back in joy whatever this one took away in tears.
