What a day. I'm glad it is almost over.

All day I have lamented this divorce. I'm a wreck and it is interfering with my time with my kids. Living in this house with them all I think about is the shattered dreams. Tomorrow is church and then we go to a relatives house for lunch. It will be good to be out of this house.

My wife told me the same thing this past week. Memories of dreams that will not be are hindering quality time with the kids. All I want is a chance to go to counseling and try, even for one month. She wants no part of it.

So, in 48 hours, I will be changing my tagline to say "filed for divorce on 10/5/09". That will be a sad day.

I've prayed and prayed, but nothing. How can this be a good thing? Maybe I am supposed to learn something, but all I feel is regret and sadness. Sadness is supposed to serve a purpose, but what good comes of this? A broken home, a split family and unrealized dreams...
