2012, the Year that Was.

3 Months Pregnant 

The year of the cruise.
The year of Taiwan.
The year of cherry blossoms!
The year of an earthquake in Taiwan (pag minalas ka naman talaga...)
The year of excitement for change.
The year of business growth.
The year of hopes and dreams for the future. (Cheesy. I know.)
The year that would have changed our lives again with another baby.
The year where our house would be filled with baby giggles and laughter (and hysterical cries).
The year of baby shopping for the first time!
The year of the worst birthday every.
The year of disbelief and disappointment.
The year of hoping against hope.
The year that nothing else mattered.
The year of Zobel.
The year of the awesome Makati Med.
The year of loss and emptiness.
The year of anger at anything and everything.
The year of indifference. (This must be those grief phases that people refer to).
The year of pushing forward.
The year of working like a robot.
The year of helping.
The year of meeting the most amazing doctors.
The year of 13 dogs, 4 birds, 3 turtles.
The year of the KatDog.
The year of the most used electronic gadget in the house - the pump. Macho.
The year of chocolate brownies.
The year of meeting wonderful families that will always be a part of our lives.
The year of changing perspectives.

The Worst Year because I lost a daughter forever, and part of myself with her.
The Best Year because I met an angel, and because of her, believe in Heaven again. I have to.

2013 will be the year I live with an open heart. Open to blessings, open to opportunities, open to changes in perspectives, and open to God. Open to finding a way back completely.
