D day

Today is the day I have dreaded for many months. Divorce is like pregnancy, it takes way too long. Divorce is not like pregnancy in that it doesn't end with such a happy bundle.

Today was perhaps the hardest day of my life thus far and I have had some pretty tough ones in the past few months. Adele and Clem had a golden weekend. I believe due to all of your prayers and well wishes. We went to a lovely harvest dinner at the Unitarian Church, her director for Robin Hood called her fantastic, she was named best offensive player for soccer and Clem just chubbed along happily. Then today we broke the news. She was crying before Brian got the first sentence out. She said she wanted to kill herself, go lay down in the grass, she literally ran around the house screaming. Then after Brian began to tell her the details of her every day life she got creepily perky. Smiling about how fun sleep overs would be. I don't really know which was scarier for me to watch.

Its done and now I live in a new land and now we get on with it. I know they will be fine. I hope they will be fine. I know they will be fine.
