Boy, two weeks left of this very sad year.

As the year nears the end. I can’t help myself from thinking about all the sadness that has happened this year.

It’s been hard to keep a positive outlook, but we’re all in this together and we all have to forge through.

Many good people have passed from my own mother, former bosses, personal friends and many people who were influential in so many ways from entertainers, political, to sport legends.

Each of them making a major mark in our lives one way or another.

I often thought how I would be if I was lucky enough to be someone like them? But I the end I always reverted back to what my Grandmother always told me? “It is your own mark that got you here”.

With all the things that we seen and heard this year? We all must forge on and fight every moment even harder than the last.

I’m going to take some time away from DU, just to get a rest and move on to next year. I may pop in once or twice, if something big happens. But thank you everyone for helping me get my own struggle with my mom’s passing.

Have a wonderful holiday and let’s start next year off bigger and stronger, as one!


See ya next year.
