the other evening while walking around the pond, i saw an old classmate of mine. we even went to elementary school together and lived in the same neighborhood at one time or another. her kids were fishing. she had to explain that she wasn't trespassing, she knew the people that sold us our house and she still knows some of my neighbors. {like i was going to turn her into the trespassing police} we did the small talk like always and then i asked her how her husband was doing. she said he left her. about 2 weeks ago. he left her with 3 kids. he left her with debt. and gambling debt. i asked how she was holding up. she seemed to be handling it much better than i would. her kids are in therapy. i found this image on with love & such the other day. i'm dedicating it to her.

This is so sad! How humiliating it must have been to admit all of that, after not really seeing you for quite awhile. She's much stronger than I would be. This is a nice dedication.
