Twenty, twenty-three has been the toughest year to get through. Kramer passed...my girl left for S.Korea...and, HER. Like a roller coaster without the ups. Not quite though; Pickles is a gift from the Universe that I actually tried to avoid but here she is. Kramer will always be with me, but it's time to end this chapter. Good riddance to 2023. Bring on twenty-four, please.
