Almost Over... Already?!

I am still in shock, really, that tomorrow is already New Year's Eve! I was talking to my husband about this earlier today, and I told him it just doesn't feel right. I mean, it does feel like it's only been yesterday when we had the countdown to 2011 and now, it'll be an all-new countdown again to a brand new year. Time just flew by so quickly, and sometimes I wish it'll just slow down a little bit. I can't help but feel happy and sad all at the same time. Happy, because I know I'm getting closer to seeing my family back home again after almost three years of being away. Sad, because it makes me realize that my kids are growing up too fast, and the people I love get older with each year and that is something I dread the most. I am so far away from home, and if you're in my shoes, you'd probably be thinking about the same things, too especially when you have a Grandma who's already 90 years old, if you know what I mean. A lot of things make me worry and I honestly don't know what I'm going to do in case something happens and I'm a thousand miles away from them. I just don't know how I'd take it.

So much for that. I think it's time to reflect on the things that happened this year and go back to the memories created and moments shared. I'd say, 2011 was definitely our year. We received so many blessings that I can't even begin to say thank you for. But I think it's better to save it for later. After all, we still have one more day to spend before we completely say farewell to 2011. One more day to create beautiful memories for this year. One more day, and it's a whole new beginning again!
