I realise I'm a few hours early for all the American lads, but happy new year to all the guys (and occasional gal) on the forum
In 2021 I had 4 family members pass; I lost my dad, 2 uncle's (1 to COVID), and my brother in-law's mother... in which all the feelings of loss carried over to 2022. The year of 2022 felt like wading through concrete. Congratulations on turning 70, my mom turns 70 this year (she's got me by 19 yrs) and is full of energy. Happy New Year!Happy New Year! I'm beyond happy to see this shit year of 2022 done and buried. Here's hoping for better times in 2023. I lost my brother, uncle, and my favorite aunt, the last to Covid.
On the bright side, I made it past the "treacherous decade" of the 60 somethings, having turned 70.
