What will you remember most about 2003? (page 3)

Hmmm, good stuff and bad stuff:

Good stuff: married 20 years to Big Tex, two wonderful big Apostafests (one in Florida) and lots of little ones, cementing new friendships, watching Jennie and Jackson grow, first Christmas!

Bad stuff: Dad's suicide (that was the big one), Jackson's bronchitis/asthma that landed him in the hospital for Thanksgiving weekend, money anxieties (but that's usual so I'm not sure if it counts), going into menopause (or the beginnings of it -- yuck), depression.

I am, however, a "half full" person, so I choose to look at the positive things this year, learn from the negative, and look forward to 2004.

The world -- well the same as others

The bad:

My cancer scare
my health problems that have me using a cane and wheelchair
work problems

The good:

my cancer scare turned out to be just a scare
getting the anthology published
creating the two JWD cookbooks
both daughters getting engaged
the impending birth of a new grandchild

I'll remember these event's for 2003, for my personal life: I moved "home." Said goodbye to cherished family members. Excitedly awaited the arrival of new family members. Started a decent job. And finally, made my dogs "outside" dogs for good.

I'll remember these event's for 2003, on a national scale: Operation Iraqi Freedom. W's Big Lie to America (WMD in Iraq). The loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia. The end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. American Idol's showdown between Ruben and Clay. (I know U2K, no idols... whatever.) California's wildfires and their new "Governator!" Saying goodbye to both Johnny Cash and John Ritter. And, 2003 will forever be remembered, by me, as the year America FINALLY got enough of Ben and Jenn!

Finding out, after many years of being a drifted, born in JW that the whole religion was a load of crap.

Wow 2003.

Leaving the Watchtower behind.
Rediscovering my spirituality.
Making my college plans.
Coming out gay to my friends and parents.
Finally getting a high ranked site on google.

For me, finding this forum.

Yes, I'd concur with JH, meeting many of the people from this forum.

Through rough times, in the end, truth (the real type) does come through.

Happy New Year 2004.

2003 for me was filled with wonderfully happy times and horribly sad and painful times.

I found this forum april of this year, went to my first apostafest and have met so many kewl people!

I got married in September in Las Vegas

My 21 year old brother died earlier this month

First year I didn't attend the Memorial. First year to celebrate the 4th of the July. First year to celebrate birthdays and Xmas and not care if a JW found out.

Hopefully moving on with my life.
