Twenty years of love, hope, security, companionship, plans.
One year of fear, noncomprehension, anger, grief, pain.
Eight months of learning to unlove, to sever the "we" and become "I."
Ten minutes in the reception area of the law office signing no contest papers.
Two months left to wait until my new life starts.
Not all beginnings are wonderful.
