If we own the story then we can write the ending

[RosaLinda]

so sorry you are in so much pain now Andy, my poor friend. And your poor girls too. But...this is something your wife really needed to do, the next step in her journey. I really believe that letting her go with love and no nastiness or bitterness is your best chance at ever getting her back.

I'm proud of you for helping her to move, and for all of the preparation you did for your girls, to help them to deal with this loss. This is such a hard time for you. You know that old cliche, that today is the first day of the rest of your life? Well really that is true. Yesterday was a new beginning for you. Go on and make your life awesome. Finish school, continue to be a strong loving supportive dad to your daughters. Continue Project Anti-Frumpy-Single-Dad. Hopefully your wife will wake up, see all the awesomeness, and want a piece of that. And if not, you will be in the very best position to go on to the next chapter in your life, and some other wonderful woman will want a piece of it. Yup, I truly believe that, because it is exactly what happened to me, and I am almost 30 years older than you!
