And though the evening is very sober and stern, I still take time for glimpses at how peacefully wonderfully amazing our lives have been since 2021. we have our issues, for sure. But truly, what paradise since 2021.

It will be a year since my father in law's passing in end of feb 2024. Our cat was also euthanised and brian lost an old aunt too in 2024. A friend died of blood poisoning last year, a year ago exactly today or yesterday i think.
