My Daughter

Daily writing prompt
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

After five years of marriage to the wrong person, she sat in front of me and said, “I filed for divorce.” One week after the last visit to the marriage counselor, she took her two little girls and left. The details are not important…what is important is having the courage to refuse to do what so many women before her had done. She refused to stay.

It was the beginning of a journey of healing, and she has thrived…they have thrived. Sometimes letting go is the beginning of finding one’s way to being successful.
