Goodby, April 2025. You flew by so quickly, but everyone knows it’s because I didn’t slow down and paid attention. I was so busy getting things done that I almost forgot to look up at the sky, take a deep breath, sleep for more than 6 hours, write a page, or pray at night.

Now that I’m 35, I’m more driven to make the most of the time I have on Earth. I want to read all that’s on my shelf, meet the people I work with, visit places with my family, bring home my next puppy, see my kids graduate, and more. I didn’t accomplish much along those lines, but I’m glad I’m alive and health enough to have lived your days. Till we meet each other again next year.
