As each year begins to close, br we reflect over the passing one br remembering the highlights br along with the year’s woes. br How things made us laugh br and the others that made us cry br the whole mixed bag br that we call a year gone by. br We look forward to the next br with eager expectations br reflecting on how we can br make more dreams come true br and all the time hoping that sadness br will miss our door. br Of making new friends to fill the gaps br where old ones have faded away. br All this we do as we reflect br on the passing of another year.
