I had not realized, but when I was fired this year in March for protecting a mother and her baby from COVID, that was the 10 year anniversary of my husband abandoning me.
I was too busy this last winter trying to not let what was happening and my fiance of over three years also leaving to reflect then upon this.
It has not mattered – the greatness I have achieved, nor the goodness enacted to near perfection. Men have betrayed and discarded me. Even my fourth father had been taunting me to leave his lodging when I was in the worst circumstances.
Today, speaking with youngest, we realized we have now arrived to where back then to over ten years ago we have wanted to be.
We have a home with our animals in a place of a real, new beginning. We can stay and/or go anywhere from here.
It was hard-earned, with too many tears – yet, not enough to clear the fears.
I guess that’s what I will be doing for awhile.
