December....

Its that time of year again, where we say oh gee, the year is all gone. Its that weather in the sky over here when you can look at the sky at noon and not go blind. (Yes i mean it but don't try it and don't say i told you so).
Its the month of accessing the year that is almost spent, and projecting into the future to see what can and must be done......
It's a month that death does it's bills and joy and sorrow mix in thesame cup to give a bitter sweet taste. Bitter because of what could have been done and did not achieve and sweet cause of what has been accomplished.
How does bob fit into all these? what have I achieved this year?
Many, i've been able to graduate, I have made friends, i have seen my cracks my weaknesses, I have loved and crushed and been in love. All in a year, i have been alone, and amongst many.
I have been cheered and mocked. I have stood my ground for causes and i have been moved, i have fallen and risen and fallen and risen again.
I know have known how it feels to be a father, and a brother all at thesame time.
I have tasted tragedy and pure bliss all in a year
I have been knocked down and raised up, By God I haven been broken only to be put back up. I have laughed and cried.
I have seen disappointments and tasted sweet victory.
It has been a very beautiful year indeed.
As the weather changes in January heat to july rains and back to the ghostly hamatan that looms in November and December and then back to the heats of January again
I have been privileged by God to see it all.
