And just like that....

....it's over. No pomp, no circumstance, no drama - completely unlike our 23+ year relationship.

July 30, 1994 - February 10, 2015. 7502 official days of marriage. Done.


When the divorce papers show up with the judge's signature and a date on it finalizing the decision to end your 20-year marriage, there are so many emotions that run through your mind. Relief that it's over, sadness that it's over, happiness that you can now move on and not look back at all the mistakes you made (except to hopefully not make those same mistakes again), guilt for being happy, anxiety, fear of the unknown, tears.  I'm trying really hard to remember that this is an opportunity to make a better life for myself and make sure our children stay as normal and grounded as possible.

Life is will be good. :|



~with much love, always

It is very hard to be happy knowing that you no longer have the life you use to have. Trust me there will be good days and bad days. Even after getting remarried and being the happiest I have ever been in my life, I still look back and think how did I think I was in love. I know your situation is very different then mine but I can tell you one thing, don't let the past get you down. It's done and over with, put on your big girl panties on and face your future with confidence and love. You have a friend in me and I will be here if you need someone. Back in high school I considered you a good friend, and now matter how much time goes by I still consider you one. You got this girl!!
