It would have been easy to just give up and live in misery either in a marriage or outside of it, but you are steering yourself to something better, even though it meant that you had to steer through some dark times. This may reveal once again how intertwined I am with my internet friends, but I think of you every time Brigham is either out of town or gets home after I will have fallen asleep and I realize how exhausting it must often be for you to have to run a household without a partner. (I even feel afraid at night!). You are such a strong person and a wonderful example to the rest of us about staying close to the Lord in difficult times (that is when I just turn on the tv and tune out of my life). I hope you don't feel like you shouldnt write about your life, and I hope you don't stop blogging regularly! What will I do with my evenings if you havent written anything?!alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170652655203156977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-23971239020004513792012-03-01T14:41:41.512-08:002012-03-01T14:41:41.512-08:00Wow Brooke!

I couldn't ever find it. You did what you had to do. I was just thinking today that, even though I was heart-wrenched that this happened to YOU, that you are handling it better than anyone else would. A lot of people would see it as the end for them, turn their faces to the wall and die. You have taken in the reality of the situation, taken control of the things you could, and been gracious about the things you couldn't. There is happiness ahead but I daresay you are happy now.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695860217448111937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-30963851683472226652012-02-29T20:55:34.724-08:002012-02-29T20:55:34.724-08:00Beautifullly said, Brookie.

I think it's really refreshing how open and honest you are about your life. And although I know nothing except what you've shared about your divorce, it actually reminds me A LOT of my parents' divorce. Reading your side of it has helped me better understand what my mom went through years ago. So thank you for sharing your story, and I'm excited for all the great things that I'm sure are coming your way.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13264553405241844534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-8898314088790297582012-02-29T19:27:23.258-08:002012-02-29T19:27:23.258-08:00Please don't stop blogging.
