Today I’m opening my heart to my ex’s new wife.  She has not been kind to me recently, but it is so important for our girls to have all of us.  We may not agree on everything, we may live extremely different lives, but we are both mothers.

Tomorrow is “mornings with mom” for my youngest.  I have invited her to join us.  It’s an open request that may or may not be answered, but at least it’s out there.

Some of the hardest decisions are usually the right ones and I do feel good about it.  My efforts may not be recognized by anyone, but I know my heart is in the right place and that’s all that matters. Love has lots of different forms and I am experiencing all of them.
