Dear 2006,
Looks like this is goodbye, huh? I have to commend you on being a gracious loser; despite doing your best to defeat me in the spring, what with stealing my lover away, wracking me with sickness, flooding my apartment twice (once with water, once with filth), and throwing my entire career and financial path into chaos... you were just as willing to reward me once I'd worked my way through it all. Thank you for returning what you have taken. Thank you for the gifts you have chosen to bestow. Now go into the halls of memory, and tell your replacement to be kind to those I love.
