Better Days

[ClingingToHope]

A friend of mine Saturday told me she's been divorced six years and is totally over the old feelings. She even knitted her ex's fiance a little sweater for the baby they are having together.

She said she did it to be an example for her kids.

I get that -- but I can't imagine ever totally losing the feelings for her -- both good and these bad ones at the end.

I can imagine conversations about the girls and perhaps the occasional family outing.

But I can't imagine long talks on the phone about whatever or extended time together.

No. It would bring it all back -- the longing and the anger.

I don't think I have that strength.
