The night they tried to throw me out of my own life was the night I finally walked into it.
I didn’t lose my husband.
I lost the illusion that he was worthy of being one.
I didn’t lose my family.
I discovered who deserved to be called family.
I didn’t lose my home.
I reclaimed it.
And I didn’t lose my future.
I saved it.
The last firework faded over the city.
Noah whispered, “Mom, it’s pretty.”
I looked at the empty place where the old dining table had once stood.
Then I looked at my son.
“Yes,” I whispered.
“It really is.”
And this time, the new year was mine.
THE END
