Well here we are. 31st Dec 2015.
I for one have not been bothered about New Year for many years…. But it does allow time for reflection. So here we have it….
Dear 2015,
I started you a very happy, contented mammy on maternity leave albeit terrified of the big change around the corner. When we made the decision to change our whole family dynamic and move to West Yorkshire, we made it when we were the happiest we have ever been. We knew we were taking a leap of faith.
2014 was my year and you promised to be one of, if not the biggest challenge of my life to date. I knew you were going to be a bitch 2015 but I didn’t realise how much so. Everyone kept telling us how brave we were and if truth be told I never felt brave at all. Not one ounce. You have slung some shit at me and my family this year but we have took it head on and will continue to do so.
2015 – you have provided a new home, a new job, a new car and don’t get me wrong you have provided some special times but I will always look back on you as a year of loneliness, fear, finding our place and starting again. So tonight I am closing the door on you with hope. With hope that you were in my life for a reason. That I will learn and grow from you.
Looking towards 2016 – I feel hopeful. I feel hopeful that you will make our journey easier and it will all be ok in the end.
Yours,
Hayley
