2008:

I bid you farewell…
You started out fine and ended in the worst possible ways I could’ve imagined, when I asked myself “could things get any worse?” they just did.
2008, I welcomed u while I was asleep. It was a cold winter and I had no place to be except under the warm covers of my bed.
My birthday in late March was one of a kind, and was the last happy memory in you. Everything that followed, caused nothing but pain, loss and regret.


Bad news was your best friend my dear 2008 while hopes and dreams were buried in your graveyard.
I doubted myself and questioned my being while you insisted that your best friend keeps visiting me.
The pain I endured was unbearable and one that had left me weak… so weak I couldn’t even see whats right from wrong. Or tell a friend from foe. I was like a bent old woman who held on to her walking stick while clutching her back, her wrinkled eyes shut with pain, while the fire within burnt her alive as she slowly crawled into a pit... (sigh!)
Goodbye 2008 and I promise to remember the good times, the laughter and sweet joyful heart leaps that my heart usually danced…
Farewell
