Martha, your words are beautiful, even when chronicling such sorrowful events.
I wish you strength and much happiness in the future.
Today was the first time I tried on the blouse I wore to my own divorce hearing, and it brought back memories of what that day felt like and the way my ex had looked when he told me there was someone else. I can tell you that today I am happier than I could have been in the marriage, although I would have not thought that back when I was married. I lived in such a little box of life, and now, I am so much bigger, fuller, and more joyful. I have been able to do things I never thought possible, and I wish you the same.
