Dear Two thousand Ten,

You brought joy.  you brought pain!  You taught me many lessons on life and taught me great things about myself.  You brought me experiences I never wanted to go through but I held my head high and conquered them.  You taught me life is not what you want it to be and there is someone much bigger than we are that is in control.  I loved everyday of you and I am thankful for my time to grow.
