God did will. But it certainly wasn't the best year of my life. In fact I would call it the worst if not for my only solace. My wife and my family. I always had them near to support me through the travails of the past year (health, work, faith).
With caution and hope, I assume the worst has passed. To take a line from the last post,
"With my head held high and a silent prayer on my lips, I look ahead on the road called life... God be with us"
