Trace Family History
As for me, the first months were painful.
But something unexpected happened.
I stopped wondering where Daniel was.
I stopped checking whether he was telling the truth.
I stopped feeling like I had to earn someone’s loyalty.

Alone.
Not because I was escaping anyone.
Not because I had a secret waiting for me.But because, for the first time in years, I wanted to spend time with the one person I had neglected while trying to save my marriage.
Myself.
And as the plane lifted into the sky, I finally understood something Daniel never had:
Sometimes leaving doesn’t destroy your life.
Sometimes it is the first step toward getting it back.
