Not happy like in the movies.
Truly at peace.
“I never wanted to keep you away from the kids,” she told me.
“I just wanted to escape the pain.”
I nodded in silence.
“Forgive me,” I whispered.

“I forgive some things.”
“Others still hurt.”
“And some just need distance.”
I understood.

No longer as husband and wife.
But not with hatred either.
Sarah held our daughter by the hand.
I held our son by the hand.
And as the church bells rang out over Charleston, I finally understood something.
Not all stories end with two people getting back together.
Some end with a woman recovering herself.
