|| Everything changes yet nothing changes

A whirlwind of a few weeks and it's coming to the end of the year.  We counted the number of things that had been changed this year, most of them household items.

• The new 2017 vintage of toyota camry replacing the vintage 2010
• The surface pro 4 replacing the long crippled sony laptop
• The new toilet for the guest bathroom
• Ray-ban turquoise sunglasses replacing the Oakley pair
• The Xiaomi note-3 cell phone replacing the samsung phone
• The ipad mini 4 32G replacing the very original ipad mini 1 16G
• Synthetic eye lenses for mom after the cataract surgery
• ....

As much as I had dreamed of the ten year anniversary, the day and the time is coming.  And this falls on the eve of the Christmas, how ironic.  I could see, yes I see, that night, as I walked him out of my home and down the stairs, and I knew it was eternity for the sight of him.  We kept our words, and he did better.

It is such remarkable determination and courage.  I have had many struggles yet I overcame them every single time.  It was so hard and it was so easy that ten years had passed, as if everything was taking place in one day.  The next ten years, and the after ... it can be done, it will be done.
