I was emailed by X today that she has changed her name back to her maiden name. I am thrilled to hear this bacause I thought she should have changed it when she left me. She always said she wouldn't change it because our girls had my last name and she wanted to share the same names. Hmmmm.........I wonder what made her do it? I really don't care but I am a nosey person by nature.

I find this interesting to get this email because this morning I wrote her telling that I've finally felt like this last little scab is finally healing, that my chipped shoulder was healing and that she didn't have to feal guilty for leaving anymore because I am over it all. I simply stopped picking up the rope to tug back and forth with her.

Sure it tweaks me a little to see her change her name and YES I've told her that she should have changed her name back to the maiden name but what made her do that NOW? I'm just curious and I'll find out eventually one day because I am not asking her nor will I give her the satisfaction of making comments about it.

My last name is very unique and my family prouds itself in having a name that is relatively unheard of even in our native land of Italy. We only have a hand full of people with our last names in all the Americas. So I fell better knowing that my girls and I share the same last name and she will miss out.

I'm not going to ask, I'm not going to comment and I sure as hell will not give her the satisfaction of giving a reaction to her lasted move of weirdness. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.............except they are no longer able to pull anything back in since I am not holding the rope.

I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts,that laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death
