Another year that started as it ended...with COVID-19 lots of people sick and a lot of deaths. For the first time in my time and I think history the President of the US started a riot that caused some deaths and lots of injuries and the government has done nothing to him amazing how for some crimes or issues they are quick to make an example of people and for others they just let them break the law and do whatever, when no one is above the law or so we think. We are a country that should be better, show better but hasn't. It was the first time in the US history to have a president impeached twice in a 4-year term although it was nothing since he continue in office until he lost the election thank goodness as we don't want a President that breaks the law as an example to the citizens.
As every year I start with the loses we had. One of my adoptive relatives loss her daughter Melinda in January of COVID, we loss my cousin Toñito in January also of COVID, my cousin's BIL David also died of COVID in February, my uncle Chava died in February of a heart attack, one of my online stamping friends loss her dad in March, a good friend from Mexico Lulu also died of COVID in May
two of my best friends in Mexico lost a brother in August to COVID and their sister Teresa in September to complications on health issues, another friend in Mexico lost her dad Jesus also in August and Bret lost his dad. The sadness loss of all here on earth was my mom, that suddenly died a couple days ago, leaving my dad behind. They had been married less than 2 months shy of 59 years a lifetime.
Lots of deaths this year but guess I always say that, there was one new baby from an online stamping friend, her 4th grandson Grayson, first son of her daughter Britney what a blessing.
Our oldest Granddaughter turned 11 this year and graduated from 5th grade in the June and moved to middle school to start in person 6th grade in August and started with sports by playing soft ball and basketball guess season is short on soft ball but she did well and she's doing well on basketball too. She is as big as me if you don't count the shoes LOL
Our other Granddaughter turned 5 this year still not in school but next year she'll start pre-school
