Divorce...

One of the guys I work with let us know today that he is going through a divorce. And while I know that its very difficult to go through (especially since he has kids) my heart is breaking for the guy. I mean, literally, every time I look at him or think about him, I think how terrible and hard it must be, and my heart physically pains for him. I think divorce sucks really, but I also realize that for some people it seems necessary.

Perhaps my heart also pains because of the inevitability of divorce these days. It seems that no ones relationship lasts no matter how long they've been together, how many kids they have, or how much they said they loved each other and would only be parted by death. I hate the thought that that's how it might end (should I ever get married). It seems so tragic. Lifelong love should be just that.

Anyway, I will now gracefully step down off my soapbox.
