Next year will be better. I know you're thinking "IT HAS TO BE!" and maybe that's the way to know that it really will be. But it's true...
Take care of yourself this week and don't sweat the small stuff. Show up for the girls and don't let them pity you b/c that sucks for them. Besides, sometime soon you'll see that you don't want or need pity b/c you are a free man and free men don't need pity. They just need to stretch into their freedom and start enjoying it.
Again, Merry Christmas, be glad you're not in Darfur, you're healthy and all that other cliched stuff that actually does matter.
Hey, I jumped out of an airplane @ 12,548 feet (but who's counting?) and Frank, the chute opened. It was amazing and beautiful but I'd never have known if I had not jumped.
