[leethefish]

2013 ...... has been the strangest of years its included some of the worst times of my life and the best!

January...It started the worst way possible with a close friend and poker player who died in tragic circumstances.

February .... as i posted day by day in this thread http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=60396.0

March Dad in intensive care and one of the worst days of my life on the 13th when me and mum sat with him and didn't think he was going to make it.

17th off intensive care and on the ward .... one of the best days of my life !

April best poker achievement so far ........final the dtd Monte Carlo finishing 6th for 18k

Certainly does seem like it was eventful.  Here's to a perhaps more peaceful but fantastic 2014 for you

I hope 2014 has less downs & more ups for you Lee.

Quite a thing to look back on life, eh?

I always admire your honesty and your love for your family Lee! Here's hoping 2014 brings you more holidays!!

@ tikay thank you it's been a long year !
I will be starting differently next year back on the diet!.....as long as no one dies or or takes a trip to the intensive care ward !!

@ Craig thin I know   but two major DTD final tables this year has allowed me to take the family to Tunisia twice and put enough away for a trip of a lifetime for me and Alison to Vegas for my 40th in April next year!

That's a great quote by the way and your kind words are appreciated thank you.

God speed Lee.

If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same...
...yours is the Earth and everything that's in it...
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son.
