Advantages: Not a lot that i can think of

Disadvantages: Too many to mention

Each year at midnight on Hogmany (New Years Eve) I always say to myself next year cant get any worse than this year well i remember saying that in 2004 but boy was i so wrong.

My father in law was diagnosed with cancer in the early part of the year, they operated and thought that they had got rid of it but later in the year it came back and this time it was too late they couldnt do anything else for him and he lost his fight for life in November it devasted the whole family. He was a good strong man who had hardly been ill a day in his life then this hit him we are still numb with shock we still cant believe it that he has gone.

2005 was also a bad year that my husband was made redundant in January just after we found out about his dad but to us at that time was nothing compared to what his dad was going through but as the months went on it got tougher for us living on one wage until finally a break came in that he got another job but sadly it want to last for long the company he worked for was running out of money and rather than make people redundant they decided to pull my husband in at the end of his three months probation and tell him that his work wasnt up to scratch therefore they would not be keeping him on. We would have understood if his work was bad but in the three months that he worked there he had nothing but compliments. We did try to take legal advice but the remainder of the staff wouldn't come forward to support him as they were in fear of losing their jobs which in all honesty we couldn't blame them.

My husband became depressed due to this and his fathers illness this year which was another tough obsticle for our family to climb. I had to stay strong for him but inside I was breaking up, I didn't know how long i could continue to be strong for him and his family.


So that is the horrible part of 2005 was there any good parts at all i wonder well let me think.

Well in the middle of the year I was surfing the Friends Reunited website and came accross an old girlfriend of my brother's (my brother died 20 years ago) who he had a child with (my nephew) I hadn't seen this nephewe since just before my brother died so imagine how I felt when I managed to track his mum down.

I met up with her and she said that she would speak to him and let him make up his mind if he wanted to speak with me afterall he had a new dad.

The good news is that he did want to speak to me and we have met a few times since, so there was at least one good thing in my life to come from 2005.

So when midnight on 31st December came around again there was no way i was saying anything and I never will again as no one knows what is in store for them and to be honest I dont think I want to see into the future with me I take each day as it comes as after all when you look at all the other disasters that happened in 2005 my problems seem like nothing.

Look at all the life that was lost in 2005 due to dissasters all over the world.

One day London is celebrating winning the Olympic bid the next day it is in mourning, who would have thought that day they were celebrating what was in store for them the next day.

Summary: Enjoy every good moment in life as much as you can
