Dear Kel,
I know what you mean. My FIL (that just passed 1/19/06) made it to 2006 and that made me so happy. I knew his time was drawing near and I so much wanted him to make 2006. I know its a strange thing but we all understand. I know he was a part of 2006 and as the year changed from 05 to 06 my first thought was "oh , I am so glad he made it to 2006!) Strange, I mean because he is now a part of my past even though he did live some in 2006, but somehow it made me feel better to know he did.
God Bless You,
Jane
