My Life 2

I really thought that things were getting better. There were the occational spats, but nothing serious. I would study during the night and everything seemed good......And so I thought.

I didn't know that she was starting to feel really bad because I was no longer the same person from "Glory Years" back home. She would tell me every so often that something was bothering her, but she could not pin point what it was.

Sadly, divorce is so easy to do here in America. I remember my father saying in a jokingly way: "Since a marriage involves a contract, it should be renewable every 5 years." In America, this might hold true! Just file it, and if there's no problem......You get it in 3-6 months. Throw away the Covenant you made in front of the Altar of the Lord, and throw away the Sacraments.....That's a modern society for you!

It was hard to accept. Believe me, I almost gave up. I went home to talk to a Priest. I asked for forgiveness every time. I was scared of God because I allowed it to happen. I went to confession 4 times for the same reason.......My divorce.

As the months passed, I started picking up the pieces of my tattered life. My family and friends were great! They were there for me. I woke up one morning to the show Good Morning America, and there was this person talking and she shared a quote and it goes something like; "A brave person will not live long, but a conservative one will always have a lingering question....has he ever lived at all?" AND something just clicked!

I now work for a very big firm. I like it a lot. I am back focused once again.......trying to be the best in the field. This is what I am good at, and I am happy doing it......... to be continued
