To be there at my children’s 10th birthdays, to meet their first respective boyfriend & girlfriend, to be a proud mama at graduation, and to watch them exchange wedding vows.
Several cracked ribs later, bruises upon bruises, a hospital visit and months of popping painkillers like candy, I survived it all.
I had been in a marriage that was increasingly volatile, violent, demeaning & empty, so I summoned up the courage to leave.
I chose LIFE! I chose to LIVE! There’s a defining moment in each life, one single moment when we must stare our fear in the face and be brave.
