Please know that nothing compares to the joy of being a mom. I LOVE my girl. LOVE. You’ll know what I am talking about when you become a mother (or father!) some day, too.
I left my husband not so long ago. Divorce. I would have stayed were it not for the safety of my daughter. Eventually, I would have left but because there was a little child in the household, I grew balls a lot sooner.
Funny thing is? Children bring out the kid in all of us. But it brings out our courage, too. We become more fearful of the world (everything seems too sharp and pointy) but more fearless, too. Bullshit is bullshit and no longer worth the fixing. A child learns to crawl and walk…there IS no waiting for the right time.
So please, forgive my absence yet again. I am feeling like a million bucks because I did what was right and my daughter and I will thrive. But the hurt and struggles that come with a divorce is all there. It’s palpable.
But it will never ripen. After all, she and I are taking on the world. She walks and dances now. And so am I. It feels so good to dance again. And it feels even better knowing that she is the new love of my life. She is my dancing partner until the day I die…
