Wrapped up 2018 with some health problems, which I hopefully have started managing better, and a family trip with your sisters and brothers.

Age is a cruel thing, and I see my aunts and uncles walking slower, even as they laugh and keep their humour close. A decade ago, we spent Christmas in Hanoi. A decade later, I walk through the cooling forests of Doi Inthanon with the rest.

Little memories continue to build so that no regrets remain. May 2019 be kind to us all.
