I have not updated this blog in quite some time due to the fact that I did not want to shock any family or friends who had not yet heard that my wife and I are in the final stages of getting a divorce. I will not use this blog to talk about specifics of my divorce, though I may from time to time discuss how much is sucks.
Going forward it's hard to tell what the lies ahead in the future. Anytime kids are involved in a divorce it just makes things that much harder...much, much, much harder. But as difficult as it is we will all survive, though the scars will remain forever.
Right now it's just a day to day struggle. With my mother dying this past spring followed shortly by the reality that I would be getting divorced, to say I am "a little stressed out" would be the understatement of the millennium. What's worse is that I am now in the process of trying to buy a house, and as anyone who has purchased a house before can tell you that alone is enough to send most people over the edge. It's a good thing I am bald because if I did have hair it would surely be gone by now. But I try to take it day by day and not let it overwhelm me or get me down. If there is one thing my mom taught me it was to never dwell on the negative and always look to the positive. If she can do that while facing terminal cancer I can surely do this.

There must be something in the water, because I am suddenly having to relocate to another apartment, very unexpectedly. Another friend of mine had her house burn to the ground a couple of weeks ago, unexpectedly. And still another friend is going thru a breakup & when he called to tell me about it was driving himself to the ER w/ a sliced open toe. I'd say come to Livingston, but its no more restful here. Hang in there tho. Have missed your posts very much.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are splitting with Suzie. Give the boys big hugs from me.
If you want a house shopping buddy give me a call! I love looking at houses.
I hope that this year gets better for you. It seems that when hard times hit, it all comes at once.
