Goodbye and Good Riddance 2015: Goodnight moon

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Go away, 2015.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

It's good to see you, Stephanie, and to hear about so many big things happening in your life. I'm sorry about the miscarriage, though it sounds like you've made your peace with it, and it's really good to know that you have so much love and support in your life. I have loved seeing pictures of you and your boyfriend on FB, and am glad that you're feeling good and happy about him.

amych, I'm so happy for you that you started working at [redacted]! It seems like a great fit for you, and I'm glad that it's been treating you well.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Stephanie, I'm sad for your loss. It's good to see you here, and though I don't say it much on Facebook I am very proud of the work you do. Thinking of what you do always reminds me that the multitudes of immigrants and refugees are not faceless masses but human beings and human families.

amych, good luck at that holiday gathering.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I wish you all love, glitter, and gingham.

Oh, that's wonderful, I'm gonna steal. So much love for your textile adventures, amych!

Punishingly Intricate

Stephanie, I'm sorry about the miscarriage. I also love keeping up with you, and seeing your kids grow, on FB. I'm so glad your relationship's going well and bringing you happiness! And, thank you, for the work you do.

I've got to write a year wrap-up because it's been a pretty big year of change for me. But am too tired right now.

Stephanie, so sorry to hear that. But so good to see your pixels here! And glad that even if this moment is tough, you've got good things and people in your life.

Amych, this year "racist uncle" will be played by my brother. Joy. (Also there was an article in slate I think the other day asking why is it always the "uncle" who is racist? And it made me laugh a little)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Stephanie, I am so sorry, but you are also such an amazing person. You've weathered so many ups and downs with quiet strength and fortitude and just... wow. I am glad that there are so many blessings in your life, even though I know you must be mourning this loss.

What Burrell said. I'm sorry for your loss but glad to see that there are bright spaces too.

Stephanie, my condolences on your loss. May the new year be one tinged with far less pain.

Stephanie, I'm so sorry about the miscarriage.
