Peace...

I dropped the girls off this morning, and now I won't have them until Thursday. We had such a wonderful time together. I really feel like the kids are doing quite well through all this. Kenny and I have been honest and open with them, and so I don't feel like they are being blind-sided by anything. They seem to be adjusting, and I am so grateful that this transition is going smooth for them. It helps that Kenny and I are friends through all this. We aren't fighting, and we are talking about stuff. The girls know that we do indeed love each other and them as well, but that we just can't be married. They are so happy to get to see their daddy today, and that makes me happy too. He is such a huge part of their everyday life.
Yesterday, I found out that the divorce papers have been filed. Crazy as it sounds, I wasn't emotional about it at all. I think that I am really at peace about all this. Hard as it is, I really believe that this is probably the best thing for both Kenny and I. We have had such a roller coaster ride for our entire relationship, and I think we are both ready to get off. I know that he wishes me the best in life and I do the same for him. We both have the same goal, and that is to make the best life possible for our three precious gifts from God. Somehow, my shoulders feel less weighed down, and I am at peace. Thank you for all of you who believe in my strength and for also giving me the help and strength to get through this. I never realized how many friends I have and for you all I am eternally grateful.
