those that are lost shall be found

in marriage, i lost myself
in divorce I found me

stupid and silly and there had to be an easier way

but

i am a better mother
friend
teacher
writer
human
because of what I went through

the people that stayed with me through it all have become deeper friends
the people I met because of it have become my support

the person I became is better than i knew how to be

you certainly don't have to go through a divorce to have these changes occur
but we do have to change
the relationship has to change
be reborn

through fire we come out clean

and
you
muffin
while not pure as the driven snow wink
are clean
