Irish, I'm very sorry that you were divorced on your daughter's birthday. However, you have now been released from some of the MLC drama and should be able to feel a weight lifted off your shoulders in time.
As for your daughter, I'm so happy to read that she and her friends had a fabulous night out. She was Cinderella for the evening and what a wonderful gift of memories that she will always cherish.
BTW, I'm so sorry that her mom didn't call or text her. I have a feeling that she called in the order to a florist and told them what to write on the card. For one small minute, she did remember her daughter's special day, but she also could have done something special for her 16th birthday. I feel sorry for her because she's lost so much in her quest for happiness.
Now, it's time to turn a page in your book of life and start a new chapter. I can't wait to see how life opens the door for you and your daughters to spread your wings and explore the world.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
