Where I've been

Took a brief hiatus to get a lot of work done, and to deal with some of the issues in my home.

Life is really funny in that you never know what you are going to get. Like your kids, or your spouse. People grow, or at least they should, on a daily basis, and what you get in the beginning is not guaranteed to be there in the end.

We had some long conversations this weekend, and are currently in our last ditch effort to save the marriage. This is my last shot, at least. There is only so much one person can take, and marriage requires a lot of work. I truly envy those who have lasted for years despite real tragedies, and did not break down because of a lack or an inability of one to communicate, or put in time to make it work.

We're giving it one more try before we really say goodbye.
