Ms Fifikins

That’s me, a little over 16 years ago. I was young. I was naïve. I have had that photo face down for ages now, but turned it up when putting up the Christmas Tree. Then turned it back again.

On Wednesday, that chapter of my life closes. I go to court where I hope to be granted a Decree Nisi that in a month will become a Decree Absolute. Divorce. The closing of a chapter. Whilst it is the end of a chapter, the book goes on. Soon there will be the property settlement. There will always be the kids.

I tried damned hard to make my marriage work. For over half of it there were severe cracks. I was a different person then.

And now I move on. It is wonderful having MIML™. I don’t know where this relationship will go. I don’t think he does. I don’t think anyone does. I don’t know if I believe in marriage- I think I do, but I am wary. Who knows how I’ll be down the track.

I am so grateful for the MIML™ chapter in my life. I hope it is a long chapter that never ends. We are a great team and he puts up with my neuroticism! Not rushing anything. Seeing where this chapter leads. Enjoying the present.

I am not the same person I was 16 years ago, 11 years ago, 8 years ago, 3 years ago, 2 years ago or even 11 months ago. I am forever evolving. The path may be rocky at times, but it carries on. No dead ends. Even along the darkest path one may find the most beautiful flowers. Thank-you MIML™.
