I think of my life as a long winding road, a mosaic, full of colorful and different stones... back back there are the happy times when kids were little and x was still a decent person, those are still colorful and pretty parts, then there is a gray part, these past 3yrs, a bit dull, but part of my life nonetheless... It's been a year now that he's not in my life -- the present is a new part of my road and it has began to take more color, I have so much road ahead of me and, oh! the choices!!
Him in my life during the good years, was part of my journey, not the culmination, not the main part, but a section of my life, it's behind me, the good memories still shine and I think of them sometimes, they are part of my past life after all.
Now let's both look ahead, let's keep walking hon, there is still a lot of road ahead and so many more things await us.
