Goodbye to 2008

I can not believe this year is over . It has been a very eventful year and one I am glad to see go .Let's see if I can recap a little of it .

The beginning of the year My husband's job looked great ! Copper was up higher then it had been in years . The company even gave one of the biggest bonuses every given , with the promise of more to come through out the year .
We only saw one more of $300 dollars . Copper began to fall . Four people were killed at his work . A big chemical spill happened causing lots of damage to the town below us . Then lay offs began to take place , 500 plus lost their jobs . We have been very lucky , that Rob still has his .

It was also the year of Lucas going through lots of test . He had an EGG , EKG and lots of blood work . The results were ADHD and OCD . He was giving meds and is doing much better now .

I to had test done and was told that I had , had a heart attack while giving birth to Jeremy two years ago . Some damage had been done but nothing to worry about . Was put on blood pressure pills and Cholesterol pills .

It was also a time of seeing the hardest thing ever . My Dad's Emphysema taking his life . He was in and out of the hospital so much that , we finally had him put on Hospice ( they are angels ). He passed away June 12 .
I was glad I and the boys had spent his last day with him . It is one I will always treasure . He took the time to read to Lucas , play with Jeremy and have a Hamburger with me . I am also glad I was with him when he passed . I walked in the room , he was sleeping , told him I loved him and watched him take his last breath .

It was a year of The Winds Of Change . I know they are still blowing but I pray that it will be good change 2009 . I wish you all a very Year full of Blessings and Good . Happy New Year :)
