god only knows
I have the soundtrack to Love Actually on my iPhone, thanks to Youngest, and last night, as my head was spinning (the party was a great success, the train-ride home not so much) it played over and over in my brain.
It's been an eventful year, here in Tuvalu. We have weathered several storms and celebrated occasional victories.
We are, at year's end, okay. And that's fine.
One thing remained constant, through jobs and joblessness, in hospitals and waiting rooms and recovery, through worry and doubt and joyfulness - we are together, the five of us.
We are tired and a little weathered but we have stood together this whole year and so, I say, with great sentimentality and appreciation, that I have no idea where I'd be without my four fellows.
We have cemented ourselves together, this past year and I couldn't be more proud...or grateful.
People don't always realize that hard things can have an upside. But I do.
My wish is that we continue to turn toward each other. My hope is that we always feel this way.
And for you?
What do I wish for for you in 2011?
Oceans. Beautiful sunsets over oceans.
Champagne with good friends.
Evening concerts...
fabulous black shoes, and love.

Happy Christmas, bb and K and may 2011 bring good things for the Bird family.
I remember at the end of 2008 - our turbulent year - just waiting for the new year to begin so that time would be fresh and we could draw breath.
I hope your new year is just like that too.

My wish for 2011 is that we all keep enjoying each other and appreciating our new "adult" family by treasuring the times we are together and yearning for more.
You are a treasure, bb.

Where would we be without our boys hey.
My wish for 2011? To watch my family grow a little older, a little wiser, a little taller (or a lot as the case always seems to be) all done with much happiness, love, plenty of cuddles and embarrassing shows of affection - bucketloads of laughter and a bottle or 10 of champagne wouldn't go astray either.
I have come to realise and accept that bad shit will happen but from that quagmire there is always always good.
Onward!
