Goodness Mike. Such a sudden stop to something that has been coming for so long. I'm sorry that the reality is hitting with a fierce jab, but I know you are strong enough to take it.
You have handled yourself so admirably through all of this batchittcrazy! You have been a steady rock.
I understand the self-doubt, the personal demons that fly through your head asking if you have done enough, telling you that you didn't. They are just that, demons. Put them behind you and be you. Be the best dad in the world for Caleigh. Love her with your whole being. That is the most important gift you can give to the world Mike, a little girl that adores her daddy and grows up to understand that she can give that love back to the world.
You are a very special man Mike. You do so much for so many through your charm and wit and yes, even your 2x4's. Like I said on my thread to you, you are welcome to come down here to Hotlanta any time and deliver those 2x4's in person! The door is always open for you, my VOR!
You have messages on FB by the way.

((((Mike)))) Have no doubts or fears that you didn't put up enough of a fight, because you did. She just chose not to join you in that fight. That is on her.
You are a great dad and a special man and next time you will be with someone who realizes what wonderful things you have to offer and treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Ms. Caleigh is a lucky lady and you are teaching her how to love and have faith and fight for what you believe in, even if you always don't win, the wisdom gained from the fight is often worth the battle.
Take care and thanks for coming over to my little slice of hell, hopefully it took your mind off of your stuff for a minute.
((((Hugs))))))

So the movie Jerry Maquire comes to mind this morning..in my work life and personal life..
with my buddy retiring
and
a divorce in minutes
I feel like that cute little kid with the spiked hair and glasses sitting in the cab of that truck when he and his mom were about to move to San Diego..the kid looks straight ahead, unemotional, as Jerry tells him goodbye..
Kim was gone a long time ago. Today is just a legal excercise. It does not change anything about your past together nor does it neccesarilly put an end to your future. Be strong....you have alot to offer and alot going on. Today is the start of the new Mike...who knows who will star in the next chapter?
Mike (((()))) thinking of you. You will truly be fine. It's just a full stop at the end of a chapter. I am sure there will be better,happier and exciting chapters once you have turned the page.
