It's over
1/26/11 10:30pm
I wonder when it will end.
I wonder when I won't feel this way.
When everything I do and say and act out aren't with the underlying thought that Laura will somehow see what she's missing. That she'll always be in my life and that it is my goal to impress her, to amaze her, to make her laugh, or just softly smile. I wonder when I'll stop having those unspoken thoughts that all I do is for her, about her, because of her, and with her in mind.
I wonder how long it will be without seeing her face to forget how she smiles.
I wonder how long it will be without hearing her voice to forget what it sounds like.
I wonder how long it will be without living my life with her to remember I have my own.
Today Ell and I walked out of the courthouse with our marriage dissolved; the same courthouse we walked into almost a decade-and-a-half ago with our marriage certificate in hand. I drove her back to her Mom's house in a Volkswagen, the same kind of car we were in as we pulled away from the church where we were married. I dropped her off at her Mom's house where barely a hundred yards away I had picked her up for our first date. We hugged, we kissed our final kiss, and we exchanged our final, "I love you"'s. I cried the entire drive home. My life with my beautiful soul mate is now over.

Oh Sam, I can't begin to understand your pain. Our family hurts from the loss of one of ours. I wish I could hold, as I did, in your beloved laz-boy and rock you till you felt better. Love you, as your Dad would, little buddy.

Sam, I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I'm praying that somehow you will find a way to work through the pain. My heart just ached for you when I read your thoughts.
I'm sorry, Sam...the breaking of your heart certainly echos in your words.
Praying for you, brother!
Sometimes life is Sh*t. You have to live in the present even though your heart stays in the past.
Wishing you peace.
Thank you for sharing Sam, we love you and pray for your heart to heal...keep moving forward.
I still don't understand it all. My heart aches. I will keep on praying for you.
I am now reading this Sam, and my tears are for you now. I'm sorry. I can't imagine your pain, but I feel it as I read your words.
