RE: A few days into this New Year, and here I Stand.

My condolences for your dog, man. When we think about the loved ones we've lost in our lives, we understand the value of those who are still with us. I don't know how serious the argument between you and your grandmother was, but if I were you, I would try to mend fences because (hopefully not soon, but) if you lose her, you might regret it. Those who are gone never come back.

People like us must keep fighting every day; there's no other option.
