Have you ever thought your life was perfect.  You have the dream house, 

wonderful children, a beautiful grandchild, two more on the way, friends,

and a wonderful life?  I thought I did.  I cherished my family more than 

anything else.  Time spent with my husband and my girls was the most

wonderful time I could have ever imagined.  

I was finally at a semi-retirement time in my life.  I worked as

I wanted, attended Community Bible Study, and has just started 

teaching a ladies class at my church.  Life was good.  I felt I could

take on pretty much anything life could send my way.  I was always

the strong one . . . the one who never cracked under pressure.  

Well, I thought wrong.  The rug was pulled out from under my feet

on September 24th of this year.  My husband gave me a letter, left

on my porch for my youngest daughter to find and bring in to me

to read.  It stated that he was filing for a divorce, that I would be

served on the the following Wednesday.  He never came home 

that evening.  He hasn't come home since.  

What I found out during the next week of investigating what 

went wrong, literally knocked me off my feet.  I have never felt

so low or so alone in my entire life.  There hasn't been one day

that I have not cried or felt totally abandoned.  This is one thing

I never imagined I would ever face in my lifetime.  After 32 years

of marriage, I had to wonder what had went wrong.  I still cannot

wrap my thoughts around what is happening in my life.  

My perfect life has ended.  My smiles have been replaced with

sorrow and tears.  I have not chosen this path, but it has been

chosen for me.  As sad as this is, I have learned to trust God in

all things.  After all, He is the only one who never disappoints.  

He promises to never leave or forsake us.  He is our Savior and 

our hope.  This is what I cling to as I face the upcoming divorce. 

I know that all things work together for good and I am so

thankful that God has comforted me and never left me.  I am so

thankful for the support of my wonderful church family and my 

friends who have been there every step of they way.  My girls have

been my rock, they are amazing women.  My son-in-laws have

made me so proud that they are married to my daughters.  Our 

family has bonded and held on to each other during this tragedy.  

Thank you all for your support and love.  Please pray for us 

as we face the days ahead.
