A New Year

Let me start out by saying this past year was the worst of my life. I needed to back away from commitments, from writing, from everything frivolous, and grieve. I've never experienced loss the likes of this before. First my beloved aunt followed by the sudden loss of my father. Death is a hideous club we all will be members of. I can hope that my club dues are paid in full for now.

So I start this year, still grieving, still putting a stoic face forward, still a bit fragile. I realize it's time to come out of hiatus. While two of the brightest lights in my Fabulous SoChi Life might have dimmed, they still shine bright with in me.

To Daddy and Kiro, thank you for making life fabulous.
