Well ... I knew this day would come, and frankly, I thought it would come faster than it has, but that doesn't make it any easier. You know how some possessions take on special meaning because of the circumstances one might attach to them? It's true. Silly, maybe, but true.
I know lots of people have gone through the emotional and psychological process of divorce both online here and in my circle of friends. Each of us deals in our own way, of course. Perhaps the hardest thing for me through that time was the feeling that such a big part of my life had been "wasted." Fortunately, I have 3 incredible kids to prove that is not an accurate assessment! :) Nevertheless, those thoughts swarmed me for about a year after our separation. It was during this time, after losing my teaching position, my marriage, and our family van within a few months, that God blessed me with the Mustang convertible! I received it as a "love gift" from Him. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, but ... it now has 140+ thousand miles on it (63k when I got it 4 yrs ago), and ... well ... it's time. Time to move on ...
My son is laughing at me, but ... I'm saying goodbye to a "friend." Some of you will understand ... maybe! :)
Thanks for your indulgence ...
