When I think about this past year, it has been a happy one. I've learned a lot. I've lived a lot. I've loved a lot.
Not only have I been blessed with Mr. Potts and my family (especially the munchkins!), I've also been fortunate enough to make some wonderful friends.
We've shared a lot the past year with a birth at the beginning of 2010, a wedding, birthdays and holidays. We've also shared loss.
I never imagined that one of my closest friends would experience a loss so great, a grief so profound.
Her loss isn't mine and I certainly would never claim it as my own. But I find myself constantly thinking of her, thinking of her precious baby.
When you find someone that you love, be it husband, family or friend, your heart breaks some when they're hurting. And y'all. My heart is so broken for her.
I also find myself longing to comfort her, to let her know that she isn't alone. That I love her so dearly that my heart is broken for her.
I never thought that any of us would go through this; and yet, I can't imagine any of us facing it alone.
So to you, my friends, I raise my glass and share my love with you and all of my hopes for a wonderful 2011.
