Its been quite a year. A rollercoaster of love and loss....stress and success.
Through it all I have had my friends.....old and new to get me through.
Distance has played a big part in this year. But no matter how far
I have always been close to the people who matter most.
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and old lang syne ?
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
How do you know Maddie?? She's my cousin! And you're at the cabin!
