Its over and done!!

[Brigid]

Hi Y'all,

Just wanted to thank you for all your kind wishes and heartfelt prayers for the successful conclusion of my divorce settlement.  

The mediation lasted about 3 hours which wasn't too bad.  The bottom line is that I mostly got what I wanted and I can now move on with my life with the peace of mind of financial security for me and the kids.

They will be setting a court date for next week to finalize, but the hard part is over.  I feel that a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I can now start making some real plans for the future.  I will probably be looking for part-time employment, but its not essential that I get that done immediately and can take time to find what I want.

I'm happy, but a little sad too just knowing that it will finally be over.  23 years is a long time to devote to someone without feeling something at the end.  Maybe I just need to get drunk and disorderly.

Bless all of you for seeing me through this.  Tomorrow is a new day  

Love from,
Brigid

Brigid,

Hugs for my sis.
Its never easy going through anything to do with court, lawyers, judges, bailiffs, gavels, hard chairs; you name it stinks.
I'm glad its over with for you and on your terms. Blessings.

Not too drunk or disorderly please. Would hate to have to bail you out.

Brigid, glad to hear that things went well.  I know your preparation made a difference.  I'm sorry that it still is an ending.

Brigid,

Hip Hip Hooray!!!

This is great news.  Relief can be such a beautiful feeling.

Take some time to bask in this and treat yourself to something special.  I'm sure you feel like you have been through the wringer.

I'm so happy for you and your family.

God Bless.

PS

I also wanted to say that I know all about the mixed feelings "the end" brings.  But like you said, tomorrow is a new day.  

Didn't want you to think that I was downplaying your pain.  

Keep your chin up.  You deserve better in life.

Take care.

Hi Brigid,
I'm so happy for you that the court ordeal is over, and that things went the right way.
Be very kind to yourself; you have been through so much.

Sincerely,

Here's to the future!

Thanks to all of you for the good wishes.  I have a wonderful sense of calm today that has not been there for over a year and a half.  I gave myself a pedicure (mudpuppy, you should try it sometime if you haven't already--it would make your big clodhoppers taste better before you inserted them in your yap   ) and I'm planning a celebration dinner with a friend.  I had so many wonderful people praying for me and my angels on this board were on my shoulders, too.  Good work guys.
