2016 has been a pretty rough year for some. It's also been nearly a full year since the unfortunate passing of . Not a week goes by where I fail to think of him at some point, and the amazing art and fun he brought to others in this community. I've also been thinking about all the most excellent people I've gotten to know through him, his art, and his streams [you probably know who you are]. And all the friends I've met in other places. I love and value each of you, for you've made my life so much better just by being in it.

With Christmas upon us and the start of a new year coming up around the corner, I have a wish I'd like to share with all of you. I want everyone reading this, all my friends here and elsewhere, to have a happy and safe holiday season. I want everyone to carry a little light with them always. Use it to brighten the dark times and light the path ahead. And together, we can make it through.

Sorry for rambling. I just felt like I had to write something.
