Together we have two beautiful children who now cry because they miss their father.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He left and moved in with his childhood friend, he states that there is nothing between them. But I was his childhood friend, and history has a way of repeating itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My logical side understands that he did not leave me for her, I know that me left us, he left me because it was not enough anymore. It is easier though to feel betrayed and hurt imagining he left me for someone else than to feel alone and broken know it is me he is leaving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;This is not something that come out of the blue, we have considered ourselves "separated" for almost a year and 5 months ago decided together that divorce was inevitable. It is one thing to know what the future holds, it is another to live through it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It is Sunday afternoon. At 2:30 pm every Sunday for the last what seems like a life time he came through the front door home from work. It is that time now and I feel myself anticipating his arrival, but I know he is not coming, he is never coming again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I know he is not now absent from life, we have children and in the way of the good father he is he will regularly see his boys. He is though absent now from my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I am not sure yet what this means for me. I am not sure how I feel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Sad, hurt, lost or alone. Relieved?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;What am I supposed to feel now, the best way to explain what I am feeling is empty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Empty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6035739823682287273-406107428744345664?l=mygodisasock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mygodisasock.blogspot.com/feeds/406107428744345664/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mygodisasock.blogspot.com/2012/02/day-one-of-forever.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6035739823682287273/posts/default/406107428744345664'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6035739823682287273/posts/default/406107428744345664'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mygodisasock.blogspot.com/2012/02/day-one-of-forever.html' title='Day One of Forever'/><author><name>Trumanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16924105525647473422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bI48igAuI_Q/TvATb5EoEeI/AAAAAAAAAGw/wE2tyCqPMwA/s220/34132_10150227275165557_599010556_13564315_1197816_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035739823682287273.post-5311755655020228811</id><published>2011-09-13T18:58:00.013-06:00</published><updated>2012-02-05T20:05:29.639-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life'/><title type='text'>Life List</title><content type='html'>1. &lt;strike&gt;Get Married&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;August 2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.
