I physically woke up that morning, but also mentally woke up with a clarity that I haven’t had in what feels like forever. I missed her, I felt terrible for what had happened, I wanted to reconcile and try again…we have been divorced now for two years, separated in January of 2021, a deep chasm forming at the end of 2019. Not since before then have I felt anything for her, love turned to resentment. I have had so much work to do on my own heart these past 4 years but never <em>felt</em> the need to (and so did nothing), did not recognize my faults in the marriage, pointed everything at her. That changed when I woke up on Sunday and I’m not sure why. But I feel an odd sense of direction right now that is not selfish (for once).
