As I wrap Christmas presents this year, I can't help but think of the events that have come to pass since last winter. In 2015 I was given the greatest gift imaginable and in 2016 it was taken away. That was one of the hardest and most painful experiences I've ever had to go through. It was short lived but it was beautiful. My wish for this next year is for everyone not only to be grateful for the things they're given, but grateful for the things they already have. You never know how quickly things can be taken from you when taken for granted.
