| O's Opening Day April 3, 2017 |
I am not going to lie, it has been a long painful process to accept the failure of my marriage and come to terms with my new reality. And even though my life demands that I always look forward, I have found myself looking back and wondering how I got to where I am today. Most days, I believe that I am blessed and thankful for having so much good fortune...three healthy children, a rewarding job, a beautiful home, and a supportive community of friends. But there are some days that still offer up the sting of divorce even so many years later, when I see my ex-husband driving someone else's children to school, I still feel a wave of sadness that hits me at the core. But...the wave passes, and I am left a little rattled but steady on my feet.
My life will forever be changed by the divorce, but my focus on my children has never faltered. They are growing fast and strong. As time passes, I am becoming obsolete as their friendships and commitments begin to rule their lives, but I love seeing them grow into amazing people independent of their mama. My only hope is that I don't fail them and that they are able to follow their dreams and find happiness in life. That is my definition of success.
