My Sad Day turns into Glad Day Sept 16

Today is the day in 1994 that my ex husband told me "I don't love you any more I'm In love with someone else and I want out." I spent 5 years crying my eyes out on this day. Then I really got on with life wouldn't give it a thought. For some crazy reason I have been bothered by it this year. Maybe because a good friend has just gone through a bad break up. Perhaps that hurt and pain made me remember my own. I am thankful now that it happened. Maybe not for the totally devasting way that it did. However I feel I became who I was meant to be not someone I was trying to be. I will always wonder who my kids would have become if we had remained together. I bet they would not have been half as interesting as they have become!
