Life = Change

I have been thinking about how to announce changes in my life...
I don't know how one does it.
Since things are final I guess it is time for me to face the facts and put it out there.
Dave and I are divorced.
I have been very sad about the whole thing.
I do not have anything bad to say about him.
I love him!
We are friends.
This has been a very difficult change but since it is final as of February 28, I feel it is time I face the change and move forward.

I hate that he is not in this picture, but it is my reality.
I am learning to accept and embrace change.
One thing I know for sure, these people will ALWAYS have my back!
I Love My Family!
I have WAY more family than this, this is just the immediate. The Leishmans will, in my opinion, Forever be My Family!

For the past 6 months I have been careful in my blogging as I was unsure what would happen and what to say in regards to the situation. Now it is out there and that is enough said.
Love to all!

Marilla, you are awesome to share the good and the bad, happy and the sad. I know nothing about your situation, so I feel funny even commenting, but want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. I know you are such a support to those around you and hope that in this time you will find support and feel peace. Thank you for sharing your testimony with me through the years, because of that I know that you know just where to turn for that peace. I do know that as someone who's parents divorced when I was 7 yrs old, how important I think it is that you are positive about one another, especially in front of your boys. But you all ready know that I am sure, especially with your schooling.
Loves,

Allison

Marilla, I am so sorry to read this and realize that you've been struggling in your marriage. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It makes me sad for your boys too. You are a good mom and you'll be able to help your boys get through it too. You have a strong testimony and I know that you will feel the peace you need as you stay close to your father in heaven.

Marilla, I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce. You seem so mature about it all. What a great person you are. Coming from a family with divorced parents I know how difficult it is for the kids...You have no idea the difference you'll make in your boys lives just by the attitude you hold toward their dad. Seriously, I respect you. I hope you're doing ok. Oh, and you look great!
