The begining of the rest of my new life? (3)

[Ripe]

In the last few days I have realized how much I needed to invite STBXW to this trip to Disneyland.
If I hadn't I would have spent a lot of energy thinking "what if I had invited her?", "what if she would be here?", "how I wish she would be here with us".
Now I am at peace, even though she has refused the invitation.
Now I will be able to really appreciate being alone with my kids, with no regrets.
The best teacher I had in high-school once told us the following about colleagues skipping classes: "The only ones needed are the ones who are here because they want to be."
