mk, wish you lived closer, would definitely have to schedule a playdate.
I've started reading them this kids book that my friend sent me (it said divorce in 3 places, which me and my black sharpie changed to read separation). its a really sweet story, and the kids listen to it really intently...not much talk about it yet, but I think it helps normalize their situation a bit.
its sad, because the kids wanted to read sleeping beauty for bedtime tonight. its a condenced version, and as I was reading it, I couldn't help but think of H and OW. they have a love story. this isn't some fling for him, he is in love with her. at least he thinks he is in love with her, which is enough, really, to make it a love story. they have a history together, and a future that they are building. who knows if it will last, but right now, that's where they are.
No, I did not call the hotel and really don't plan to. btdt in the past, trust me, it doesn't do anything but hurt. I did, however, pop in my wedding video. a few weeks ago I watched the ceremony part, watched the rest of it (reception) tonight. it was really weird watching it. I've watched it many times since finding out about the affair, but it was weird, tonight I hardly even recognized us. I just realize now how far we are from that couple on the screen. I had a good cry, a couple of laughs, some more tears, and then just told myself it was time to let this go. time to pack it away and truly let this go...this chapter of my life is over.
