Year
2014
Dearest
Friends and Family:
As
this year ends I reflect on what was accomplished
and what I can do to better
my next year.
I cannot believe it is 2015. I wonder where the time went?
My
son Tim has moved out and is now living with his girlfriend Rachel.
They
both attend classes at Western Illinois University
in Macomb Illinois.
May
the lord bless them as they find their way in this world; as they learn and
grow,
may they make the right decisions.
My
son Ken is doing better in school. He has not been struggling as much this
year. He looks forward to joining the soccer team or the football team next
year. He also looks forward to the STEP program in which he will be working
part time after school.
My
wife Jill earned her Medical Coding Specialist certificate at Black Hawk College. She is now working on her
degree full time. This year she got knee replacement surgery; she hopes to get
the other knee replaced as she works toward attainment in a new career. On her
spare time she does many activities with the church. She works with the cookie
walk, Pricilla circle, bible camp, and plans for the Liturgists.
Me;
will, for the most part, this year has been pretty good.
In
July I took a trip to visit my sponsored child Jacklieth in Cartagena Columbia.
I
needed to get away for a bit and unwind. I had a fun time in Cartagena.
I
stay active swimming at the YMCA and with my art and writing.
I
was honorary promoted to Midoru Kyoshi –
Shichidan-ho
7th degree black belt in Shurinju Ryu Karate Do this year.
Because
of my community service to others Master Stevens honorarily promoted me.
I
hope to do my martial arts full time and teach a regular karate class again one
day.
The
only downfall is that I still have to deal with constant pain and tingling
through my spine, shoulder and fingers. I go to the VA in Iowa City frequently for pain shots and
physical therapy. Winters are always hard on me.
I
pray that 2015 be as blessed as my 2014 and that one day my pain is relieved.
In
the next year we are preparing our future to move and to start a new life in New Mexico.
We
hope to be in New Mexico
in the summer of 2016. This will be a better climate for my body ailments and a
warmer place to retire.
I
wish all of my friends and family a blessed year ahead.
Have
a great 2015 my friends and family!
Mr.
Timothy L. Kerofsky, MA and family
HAPPY
NEW YEAR 2015!
