This year has been a tough one for me. I knew it would be too. I am still grateful for it though through all the hard times I feel it has given me. I have been made stronger and wiser, more compassionate and understanding, especially for the troubles others face in life. I am grateful for all the people that helped me by living their covenants to comfort me, and mourn with me. I have learned so much and am so grateful for the hard times that teach me and refine me and make me better.
