I started new life with my kids from scratch after my separation. The challenges I was facing that time was incredible. But I never had the chance to make a thought about it. On the contrary, it has given me power to work even more harder to survive. I do admit, there were moments I couldn't help myself feeling burned-out.

I think the process of my divorce was one of the meanest amongst other divorce cases. Those who experienced the same surely knows what I am talking about.

The fact that my ex-husband has tried all the tricks to tear me apart was something difficult to deal with. Forcing to win the sole costudy of our children was one of the example. He knows it would kill me if he succeed. To make the story short, we agreed for common costudy after several court hearings. As our divorce was over, I told my ex-husband that inspite of all what happened between us...the truth can not be denied that the children needs both of us as we are their parents. They already suffered enough, so it is just natural that we should make the best out of the situation. To make it relatively comfortable for them although the family is no longer intact. In my opinion, parents should meet an adequate arrangement for the sake of the children.

Before I met my present husband, I was so convinced that I am better off if I stay alone. Who can blame me then? No wonder! After all what I've been through. My heart, my mind, my body and soul was so weary. But guess what? As weariness fades away...things turns out different. Suddenly I realized that I can't go on living alone and lonely. At the same time I was also afraid I might encounter another disappoinment again. Although silently, I was hoping that somehow I would find the right man one day. A man, who knows to appreciate my existence. Someone who would love me wholeheartedly, who would accept my good and bad sides, and my weaknesses.

Then came Gerd, and I could say that I am lucky that he appears in my life. Both of us are thankful to our Lord above for giving us the chance to find the love of our life. With him, I feel comfort and receive all the kind of loving, tenderness and attention...what I never got or got very little before. Everyday is like a new day for us. With our love and faith to each other...we hope to win the challenges that may arise in times ahead. We are also both hoping that this marriage would last long until the rest of our lives!
