There's a lot of twisting and turning, but in the end, elegant.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498785254662036485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661804458082871127.post-51975040604310493432010-09-09T16:07:39.806-07:002010-09-09T16:07:39.806-07:00I agree with Barbi.

However, the piece opened up many more questions since I know little about you. What prevents patching it up with the ex? How did your parents (married 40 yrs) react to the divorce? How did the kids react? I mean, this is probably stuff for another post, but they were questions that came to mind. You gotta stay strong in the knowledge you're smart and talented. More than most peeps can say, and if you don't believe me, I walk you down the halls where I work. ....BTW the other day I napped and dreamt this too! *creepy* "a mouth full of glass shards."
