“Sometimes, they’re the best reason in the world to stay.”
“The next morning, I was certain I could do this.”
“Suddenly what once felt like my biggest failure, was actually our biggest blessing.”
“My husband of 7 years told me he didn’t want kids. I was utterly shocked and confused. We had already started saving for their education. I contemplated my choices, none of which were part of my plan. Divorcing someone I loved didn’t seem fair, but life without a family didn’t make sense to me.”
“I had basically no money saved and no plan whatsoever. I pawned my engagement ring, which afforded me three months in an apartment, and borrowed two twin mattresses from my sister to put on the floor.”
“Jason was in the middle of a divorce. My life felt like a series of breakups. So you can imagine my skepticism when someone wanted to fly down to take me on a date without having met him in person before.”

“When the likelihood of longevity of life got taken away from me, I realized how much I was wasting precious time and energy. How much I was wasting time worrying about what people thought of me and obsessing over every day problems.”
“I knew immediately I had never met anyone like Megan, and this was it. This was the person I didn’t believe existed.”
“I shouldn’t have survived.”
