I truly mean it when I say that 2011 has been the worst year of my life so far. The death of my mother was the worst thing by far that occurred, but there were many other things that made 2011 overall a really shitty year.
There were a few bright spots in the year, the most notable being becoming an uncle, but even that was made bittersweet because of Mom’s death. Mom was looking forward to being a grandma so much.
I am glad to see 2011 go, and really hope 2012 is much, much better.
