what to say....

so i received some unnerving news today. a friend of mine, tiffanie, sent me an email reply to my quiz email. she starts out explaining she'd been sending me emails to the wrong address. then she goes on to tell me that her and her husband split up. they are divorced. he had a girlfriend for a year and she happened to find out about it. they got divorced. he moved in with her. tiffanie got custody and he got visitation of their 2 1/2 year old daughter. i'm in shock. what happened? i'd never seen a man more enamored with his daughter or wife than he was. of course, michael was first, but....still. what do you tell a friend who is younger than you, with a daughter your own's age, who just got divorced? i have no idea except that i love her. i wish i had been there for her while it was all going on. i feel guilty for not keeping better in touch with her. she's always on my heart, being my pregnancy buddy and all, but still. it's really got michael and i at a loss. what went so wrong?

i look at michael and i and i think, could that be us? i'm so happy to answer no. several times over the years, being depressed, i've said it. i'm sorry i ever did, but there it is, out there. now, coming through all those very bad years of depression, i'm so thankful he stuck by me. there is no doubt in my mind our alliegence to one another. no matter what, we are committed through and through. there is no choice. there is no falling out of love. there is just me, him, one. i love my husband so much. i just wanted to let you all know.
