Hello 2022
2022. 2022! How are we in 2022?
Hope you all had a happy and healthy end to the year. When I signed off for the year we had a lot planned. Not everything went as planned though. We were visited upon with some very bad news. We were rocked to our very cores when we heard about the sudden death of a close family friend in a freak accident. When something like that happens it makes you question your life and the choices you make, it makes you want to hold your loved ones closer and make more memories with them. The last few years have been filled with much loss for many people and wish everyone another year of courage and hope.
We had a few little trips planned.. we canceled some.. we moved around things. Our friends hosted a secret Santa.

M and I got our boosters.
I reunited with a friend I hadn’t seen in 5 years!

We all got Covid tests yesterday before retuning to school/work.
H turned 8! This is the picture he insisted I use. He had lost a tooth just minutes before.
All in all we managed, against all odds and Omnicron to end the year on a high note.

ReplyDeleteWhat a horrible thing to have happened, Hena! I'm not surprised the news thwarted your plans. Still, I'm wishing you and your lovely family a healthy and happy 2022. Happy birthday to H.! It's good to hear you had your boosters. Jos had his a couple of weeks ago, and I will get mine tomorrow! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss. I'm reminded that we should never take anything for granted.
ReplyDeleteI insisted everyone in my family who still needed boosters get them before Christmas. The youngest grandchild can't get anything yet (he's 2), but the middle ones are fully vaccinated.
Cheers to the birthday boy and may all of you have a wonderful 2022!
So sorry about the loss of your friend. That's rough. Glad you had a good holiday otherwise.
