2008 was an emotional rollercoaster for us. Here's my list chronologically....
Bad: My workplace closed and myself and all my co-workers (including my wife) got laid off.
Good: My son was born. Our first child.
Good: One of my closest cousins got engaged.
Bad: A friend who was sick for the last few years passed away.
Good: I got a new job within the same company.
Bad: A former co-worker and friend died of a heart attack.
Good: My brother in-law got married.
Bad: The company announced more layoffs. Two of my closest co-workers were let go.
Good: My sister got engaged during the holidays.
2008 was a strange year. Watching my son during his first year was amazing though and made it easier to forget the more difficult times.
