A year in review

As we at The Madera Tribune prepare for our final Special Section of the year, a magazine called “2025 Year in Review,” it made me review my own personal year and what happened during this year that I want to remember.

It’s been a quick year. It seems like it was only about four months long, but here we are at almost the end of 2025. 

This year I lost a very dear member of my family, the wife of one of my cousins. Glenda died suddenly just a couple of weeks before our family reunion in April. She was such a dear person, so kind and thoughtful.
