* Barak reached the half-century mark - a celebration of life and bucket lists with family and friends.
* Victoria survived her first full year of post-professional graduate work - encouragement from family and friends.
* We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary - steady and faithful love.
* Darren (22) is gainfully employed and on his own, awaiting a call from the US Marine Corps to enter Officer Candidate School - patience and more patience.
