Need HOPE part III

[PERSEVERANCE]

Just journaling a bit. X is out of the country until tomorrow. She sent us a couple of texts. It's been a great weekend so far. Great weather & fun times with the kids. They are growing up so quickly. What a couple of beautiful, intelligent Young men! I'm lucky to have the house and kids. This time is priceless. Their mother walked away from this, unbelievable. Their godfather visited / he is also the priest that married us 17 yrs ago - we hung out, had coffee, laughed... It was nice. It was a little awkward, I told him that the divorce is final now. Originally my X didnt want to tell everyone... She said it would be easier nit telling everyone in case we reconciled. Im done living a lie, she wanted a D, its time To deal with the reality. The reality is that i need to make chicken salad out of chicken s&@t . I'm taking this all day by day. Trying to string the good days together to make good weeks. The Stop sign screensaver on my phone has helped a bit. My Gal today included going to the gym, studying for a class that I'm in, met a group of friends with their dogs at a local park, went for a run with one son & a walk with my other son... Making banana bread with the Boys tonight... ( yes the tough Marine combat vet makes banana bread :-)
