It sounds like you overcame a lot this year. More than most people ever could. I applaud you for that. Here's to 2009 being a much better year.

Thank you for sharing, too. Your strength is inspiring, and I'll remember it when I'm confronted with anything trying.

Whenever you write, I can almost guarantee it'll give me chills. It's raw, and it's honest.

"but to selectively forget the year would also mean that i would be ignoring the strength i found within myself that i never knew i had."
This is so true. What a lesson.

"in 2009, i would like to love more. more arms around the waist, more pats on the hair, more kisses while cooking, more morning snuggling, more thank yous."
Me too.

Happy new year. I hope 2009 brings you more of what you need.

Maggie, everything you've written here was made increasingly clear through your posts this past year. It's been an incredible to see your strength grow through these posts, especially since I never get to see you anymore!

i owe part of this to you; whenever i felt particularly bad about the situation you always seemed to remind me that i still had my head up in spite of everything.
