and so it is

last year. what she felt was... disappointment? like a little girl anticipating a happy fairytale that was supposed to happen. her very first! ... but it didn't happen.

but the year before. she was happy. naively so, but happy nonetheless.

this year?

maybe it's good that she doesn't have to live through another similar disappointment =)

cos i'm telling you, the next one better not fail her this way =P
