As 2011 draws to an end...

A moment of reflection as the year draws to a close. It has been one emotional roller coaster ride. Although work, school and home was very hectic, I will remember this year more for the low lights rather than the few high lights...

- A close friend from college days is very sick. Doctor's have diagnosed him with a serious auto immune disease. He used to be a very healthy person but looking at him now, I feel immense pain. The doctors say there is no cure.

- Feeling of helplessness and sadness at dad's situation. His health is deteriorating steadily and I can't do anything. Sons are supposed to be a source of joy and caring for parents and I have failed miserably on this front. Feel totally helpless...

- Health has not been good this year. Surgery next year looks imminent.

- Have given a lot of reasons for complaint to my better half.

- increasingly complex extended family relationships.

... and so on. Dad always says that no matter how bad the circumstances and/or situation, it will all pass. I am amazed at his positivity whenever I talk to him.

Hoping for a better 2012.
