This has been a roller-coaster year for some of us --- certainly
myself included --- but the year has come to a close. I want to take
a moment to wish each and every one of you a safe and wonderful new
year. May 2009 be ten times healthier, happier, and more prosperous
to you and yours than the three best years of your life so far, and
may each year beyond that be better even than the one before.
And as a side note (some of you already know): for my wife and I
closing out the year, we heard the heartbeat of our first child for
the first time today in the ultrasound. Nothing else will ever again
matter as much to me as what I am about to embark upon. I don't think
any song or sound I've ever heard in my entire life was as beautiful
as those few seconds. My heart literally feels so full that it could
burst at any moment.
To all of you, thank you for being a part of the PHP project, and
many of you professional and personal parts of my life. Of all of the
communities I've been involved in the last sixteen years or so, this
has always been my favorite. And it's because of you folks.
From the bottom of my (bursting!) heart, thank you, and I look
forward to working alongside all of you in 2009.
All the best....
Congratulations! It's amazing how much it changes your life... And
how quickly...
I created MP3's of both my kids heart beats so I can play them
anytime I want... And since I have to work out of the house it's nice
to be able to remember give me a big reason to hurry up and get done
coding so I can go see and hold my kids :) The youngest one started
sitting up yesterday... Next step is crawling!
