Tony,,,the 46 posts were all the sweeter for the anticipation. Although you have worried me. And you also make me cry. I love Granny.

Health, Love and happiness to you in 2010!

I sometimes tell friends whose burdens are too heavy to remember what they say on planes if the oxygen masks drop: put your own mask on first, THEN you’ll be able to help others. Seems you’ve decided to do that in your own situation and in your own way. Happiness is a deep human need and you deserve every bit you can get. Best wishes to you, the Attorney and to Granny.

I’m glad to hear that you’re taking charge of what you can. But always remember that you should ask for help when you need it. People are here to help each other. Don’t shoulder anything alone that you don’t have to. If you need to take care of Granny but the blinds need cleaning, ask someone to come help. Stuff like that. Honestly, it’s okay to ask and if they’re real friends, you’re not being a burden.

Yay for happiness, but don’t do it so much that it winds up hurting others. I hope the best for you in 2010.

What a lovely New Year’s Eve you had– it says a lot about you and the Attorney. Yes, 2009 was not the best year for so many of us, but I have hope for 2010. If not for hope, we might as well give up now. You’ll make it through it all, my friend. Just think of all you have been through already.

A huge hug (although I would have to stand on my tiptoes or a stepladder)!!!

Hi Tony,

So often I’ve wanted to comment, but have instead chosen to remain a silent observer.

I’ve been reading your blog for while, in fact, I now come to realise since not long after it’s inception. I never knew you had another one previously.

Words can sometimes be the greatest gifts we can share with one another, and your words have truly been a gift. It broke my heart to read the words “I failed” as you have a striking ability to use those words to celebrate life and the human spirit in a way that is so open, so profound, so delightful and so ultimately uplifting – to claim failure could not be further from the truth.

Thank You, Tony, for sharing when you do – I’m sorry I don’t do the same more often in response.

Sincerely I wish you the absolute best of good fortune for the future.

Happy New Year to you! Life is a bit of a struggle every now and then but always remember to steal away a little time for yourself every day.

Tony – Despite your ample God-given gifts, I’ve always considered you and your words a matter of quality over quantity. You could write one post for an entire year, and it would still be ten times better than any number of daily posters out there. I’m just grateful that you’re here. How often and how much you put in is entirely up to you.

Happy new year to you! I was fast asleep, like Grandma, prior to midnight. Guess I’m getting too old for this stuff.

Wonderful! I think your new year’s night was stupendous. And I know the Attorney was more than thrilled to spend it the way he did. I had a great one too. Rick fell asleep before midnight, I put on some candles and watched Julie & Julia with the very endearing sleep of Rick right next to me. It was a home and it wasn’t perfect, but it was beautiful.

God Bless Granny.
