2012 will be better

This year has to be better than the last, right? I mean, I know it can always be worse, but it would be nice if just once it was better.

2011 was a beast for our family. We had therapies to get the hang of, the unexpected death of two friends, an Autism diagnosis and it's aftermath, a falling out with a close family member, the death of another close family member, the death of a pet that had been with us for 14 years, and I had to give my dog over to a rescue since he had grown tired of Little Hurricane's "love" and bit her on the face.

It wasn't all bad, but good grief, what a beastly year it was! 

So here is to the new year, may you suck less than your predecessor.
