I’ve decided one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to tackle these hurdles as best I can and make the most of what this new city has to offer.

Whenever I’m having a sad/lonely day, I’m going to “hunt the good”.

Yet, I also know that I’ll never “move on”. Ko will forever have a piece of my heart. My goal right now is to keep carrying on in pursuit of brighter days.

One of the best ways I’ve found to cope is just to give into the tears. I’ve come to accept that there is absolutely no shame in crying

I know that it’s never going to change, but I’m extremely grateful to TAPS for making some of my worst moments a little easier.

The last 13 months have been particularly rough. My fiancé SSG Su Wan Ko was killed in an automobile accident in March 2011.
