Goodbye 2013!

There have been a few years we were glad to see the last off.  We had some challenges and stresses in 2013, but overall, it was a good year.  Or at the least, a year of acceptance. 

We came to terms with Daddy-o's diagnosis of early-onset Parkinson's. We were blessed with a wonderful supporting reaction from his work and unconditional love from family and friends. We still don't like it.  If we could, we would wish it away.... But considering everything, we are very blessed.

Cuddling watching our New Year's eve Star Wars movie.
Oh, how times have changed.

We said goodbye to good family furry companions. We miss our furry companions terribly, but are learning to enjoy this in-between time without the downsides of pets.

We have re-established long-lost or damaged relationships. Ended damaging ones.

Unlike Bubita, Bubeaner is completely enthralled by Episode IV.

Through it all we have grown closer together. Learned to love each other more every day acknowledging our weaknesses and strengths. And above all remain always aware and grateful to our many blessings.

So we wish everyone a wonderful new year. Bring it on 2014.
