Retail Therapy

You know, it actually works.
So, my husband married that girl in a civil ceremony. He is still married to me in the eyes of the Church and in my heart. It hurts - hurts like hell - but let him know that? No way. That's why you don't see me posting about that on Facebook - only a small number of people know - and, even then, most of them don't live in that state.
I took off my rings - they made me way too sad. Especially since he left his wedding band with me when he walked out. (Only right since my cousin crafted it for him after he lost his original band in a hotel when our oldest was a baby).
Always wanted a bling ring - and a mother's ring - so I have kind of combined that in a diamond band that has three larger stones that symbolize my three girls. I'm wearing it on my hand instead of my original diamond. That way, people I meet can guess that I'm still married and I won't have to explain anything. And the ring makes me happy instead of sad.
What else makes me happy besides my family? Learning, studying, teaching.....more on that another day.
