My great late friend Jim Daley taught me a tradition years ago of naming one person each year who "made your year". This year I have two people who really made this year different and special.
First, my daughter. 'Tasha has made real progress this year in her battle with depression. I know it has never been easy for her, but this year for the first time ever I felt optimistic about her chance for a happy future. She's my hero, and I'm proud of her.
Second, my little cousin Smedly ( she claims her real name is Jessica, but I prefer Smedly). Jessica is 9 years old and her dad is gravely ill with a brain tumor. Little Semderica is smart as a whip and a wonderful kid. I promised her a trip to our place in Myrtle Beach in 2008, and God willing I'll keep that promise. Smedrick deserves nothing less.
Anyhow, I miss you Jim...you'll never be forgotten.
