I lost a very dear and special dog in 2018, I can remember last year with Daniel at Christmas time and it was one of our better ones.
In the beginning of June I had to rush Cody to the emergency equine hospital, he almost died.
My brother found out last month he has cancer.
In January of 2018 I was laid off briefly and in February in really bad weather drove to Maryland for a week for training to start a new job.
Kylie had some things happen and she has moved back at the same time my brother moved in and he is struggling with Parkinson along with the cancer.
The weather was a challenge in the summer, it was just a harder year with the heat seeming more intense.
I went through a bout of depression on and off.
A lot of little things I think with the added responsibility of having my brother here, a bigger farm, the weather and working full time. I had a lot of overtime too that all in all spread me kind of thin.
It was a hard year in 2018, I know it could have been worse and perhaps I've had harder years. My hope for 2018 was that the time had come where things would be a little easier and there would be more me time.
It didn't turn out that way and I don't know what 2019 will be like. I know I will miss Daniel always. It is total mud outside and the weather is nothing like I can remember for winter. The job is going good and I don't think there will be a layoff but you never really know for certain.
I worry with the passing time how much time I will have left with Cody and stress because I still don't get much time to do things with him. I see him everyday and he goes out and has a very comfortable life, he knows I love him, I know he loves me. I want to make some good memories with Cody in 2019, that is my hope.
I know I will have to get Uncle Gregg through is cancer surgery and treatment and I will have to get Kylie on her feet again.
I'll end with the hope and the prayer that we all make it through 2019 and it is filled with peace and love and happiness.
