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
