The time square ball drop. It glowingly descents from the sky. But as time is ticking away, we are reminded of all we lost. The countdown is final and its prime is slipping. This year was incredibly difficult – for all of us.

Looking back, we often forget that all that’s left makes way for the new. The fireworks, brightly enlightening the sky, reaches the stars only in lieu of preparation. Alot of effort was made to bring joy to the others – and often it isn’t appreciated until it begins to shine.

I am personally very grateful for this community, for all that have been and all that will be a part of it.
