Dear 2016

Dear 2016,

First things first... I win! After your many attempts to kill me off this year I am still alive. I'm looking out for any hazardous objects dont worry! 11hours remain of which I shall be wearing a full body protection suit. Don't you dare hit me with a bus now! You made me cry last night, you've made me cry plenty this year, you e made me angry and you have made me question if this life is worth living. It's clear now that it most definitely is. You have been the absolute worst year of my life, you have broken me, but with that you have also taught me how to stand back up again when the whole world crashes down around you. I've learnt how to dance in the rain. I've discovered how much of an impact these words can have on the lives of others and that is the weapon I fight you back with. Everything you have thrown at me has revealed the people in this world that truly love me, you have brought them back out of the shadows and eradicated those who turned out to be the most poisonous of all. So thank you but can you please now just F*** off!

Yours sincerely,

Fran and Brian.
