I miss you, Caleb & Chris, Lam Chuan and Mena.    
But most of all, Dad and Momo; I think of you two ever so often.
    Remember to check down on me sometime from heaven okay?
   
  Ah, what a year it has been!
    Life was particularly eventful this time around. The good, the bad, and the in-betweens have seriously outdone themselves.
   
  But I am thankful. I really am. *winks*
   
    I am grateful for:
  - All      the smiles.
- My      health (though the mind was never really centre!)
- The      old buddies, who stayed with me through it all.
- The      new friends, for keeping me away from rancour
- My mum      being well and happy (generally)
- Having      that strong familial bond sturdy as ever.
- Learning      how to be strong. For myself and others.
- Learning      how to cook (well)!!!
- Learning      that independence does not equal solitude.
- Learning      self-control.
- Earning      my first kinda-short-yet-long-term wage with SOCSO and EPF benefits.
- Making      it to university. 
- Growing      up. 
- Finding      acceptance.
- Finding      forgiveness.
- Finding      closure.
- Finding      more bits about myself.
- Finding      love.
 
  Peace, My Brother.
  Peace, My Sister.
  Peace, My Soul.
   
  I think I am starting to get used to life like this– bittersweet.
