wrapping up a year

Seems it's time to tuck away another year. Not sure how it got to be December 31st, but here we are and here's what I have to share.

A brief summary:
2 more surgeries and then back to almost a normal, healthy life.
The end of Max's York study... goodbye to great friends and teachers.
A move to Kingston. Goodbye Toronto. Goodbye CHIRS.
More hospital time with loved ones than I would have liked.
An improvement in the state of my family. At least my siblings and I have all been in the same room together this year.
The passing of Mookie. Sad, sad, sad.
A new job for me. The same job for Dan.
A long-distance love affair... with my husband whom I adore.
A wonderfully successfully garden. A promising oak tree.

More parts happy than sad, 2008 has been quite a year!

Talk to you soon.
