I felt a change with in my self today.
I cried a lot this morning. I have just felt so lonely these past few days. I don't have someone to talk to on my drives home. I no longer have that person to dissect my day with. I do not have someone to end my day with. I am just alone. The difference today is that I accepted that I have been lonely for a long time. I just had someone but not someone that was connecting with me.
He left me a long time ago.
I have just been fighting for the potential that I saw in us. I have been fighting to hold onto the dreams that i had for my family, for my kids, for me. I let those go today. I decided to stop thinking about what we no longer have. I am still sad. I am still heart broken but I am truly looking forward.
I know this is not going to make it all better.
I know that we will have hard times.
I know that the actual divorce process is going to be horrible.
Maybe it is all the love and support.
I have been so shocked by how much people want to care for us, for me. I truly have the most amazing people in my life. I never expected this. I thought people would be shocked. The amount of genuine care has just moved me to tears on many occasions.
People actually care about me.
I do have value. I have value as me, for who I am. It is not about me as a mother or teacher but just because people care about me.
We are going to be ok.
I am going to be ok.
I will forgive. We will forgive. We will all move forward.

I absolutely love Ava's drawing and comment. Your family is so strong. They must have gotten it from Mama :)
