"D" day -

Today is one of those days that feels like it needs some comment; but what kind of comment has me baffled.

Today I am officially a child of divorce. (That doesn't sound right since I'm almost 32 - should I say an adult child?) Regardless, my parents divorce became a reality today, and there aren't really words to summarize the day. It has been such a whirlwind - they only decided to separate in mid-November - so today almost feels surreal. I wasn't at the courthouse to hear the judge speak it into being so it's easy to feel like it didn't really happen. But it did.

The sadness is great. Life as I knew it no longer exists. I know things will continue to evolve as we move further from tomorrow. The rawness will disappear, the scab will form and fall away, and we’ll see what this new path really looks like.

I long for healing for all of us. One day at a time. One step at a time.
