Merry Christmas to everyone who brought us cheer this year. As I sit with my family and hold my new baby girl, I realize I made the best choice for my family.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt to know that very soon I won't see many of you again. It won't be the same where you could come in, be yourself, and spout your opinion (wether it was right or wrong!). The huge majority of people I interact and talk to I've met running my store. I've met incredible people and forged amazing relationships that I will carry with me forever.
The only regret I have is that my daughter won't meet most of you. You who made it worth doing all the crazy, long hours to make the best place to be that I could. Did I make a lot of mistakes? You bet your ass I did! But the successes far outweigh the failures.
All of you, everyone who reads this post or has spoken to me, please know that you have become an extended part of my family and I love you. Even if you irritated or have pi**ed me off, you have helped shaped who I am today and the choices I've made and I thank you.
Thank you for being who you are and letting me be a small part of your life.
Merry Christmas and here is to the next year, the year without a Tower, but a year filled with the happiness of the people who really are the Tower.
