I just found my divorce papers from my first marriage!

Dated December 9, 1980

Cleaning out drawers for our upcoming move and whoa!

First husband passed away a few years ago. Been married to my second and forever husband for over 30 years.

Boy, this brought back some bad memories. I'm glad to get rid of this...

can be a good recipe for failure. I'll speak for myself....I did not have enough life experience to commit to a marriage. I look at it as a learned lesson in my life. After being single for about 6 years, my second has lasted for 47 and counting. Best thing I ever did.
