 I miss you .
 Very tough year. I hope and pray 04 is better.
 
 Dire Straits Brothers In Arms:
 
 Through these fields of destruction
 Baptism of fire
 I´ve watched all your suffering
 As the battles raged higher
 And though they did hurt me so bad
 In the fear and alarm
 You did not desert me
 My brothers in arms
 
 There´s so many different worlds
 So many different suns
 And we have just one world
 But we live in different ones
 
 Now the sun´s gone to hell
 And the moon´s riding high
 Let me bid you farewell
 Every man has to die
 But it´s written in the starlight
 And every line on your palm
 We´re fools to make war
 On our brothers in arms
 
 
 
 Peace.

I was fortuantely not to lose any family or close friends in 2003.
 
 Of course I was blessed in becoming friends with a certain poster in 2003 which seemed impossible earlier in the year.

While I didn´t lose anyone close to my family this year, but I echo all the sentiments mentioned about Damon, who I chatted with a couple times.
 
 I´d like to thoughts for Tony Renna, 27. What might have been in 2004.

I fortunately haven´t lost anybody either this year.
 
 I pray for my little sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer this fall and has undergone surgery and is starting the second half of her chemo treatment. It was pretty bad and very scary, but all signs now are good. Hope she makes it.
 
 Happy New Year!

Here´s to the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country and community. Especially my brothers and sisters in law enforcement. God willing, when I get to heaven, I´ll know the streets are safe.
 
 I just hope I´m there long enough before the devil finds out where I´m at.
