On July 1, 2006 I finally took off my wedding band and put it away. I replaced it with a ring that has an emerald on it, my son's birth stone. Now everytime I look at it, I think of my son and I feel better about myself and the choices I've made. I think I'm finally able to let go of what's gone, focus on the future instead of second guessing my past. My divorce should be finalized next month, as long as nothing prolongs it. It took me so long to finally take that band off and put it somewhere that I won't see it on a regular basis, so long in fact that I have a tan line where that ring was. I don't know why it took me so long to take that band off but I'm glad I did, now I feel like I'm finally able to say goodbye and let go of everything. I know I'll never forget about everything we'd had and I know I'll still have times when I think about the past but, I think that now I'll be able to look back on it with a smile and know that what I did was the best thing I could do for both my son and myself. I'm sure there are still a lot of hard times lying ahead of me but, if I can get through this and if I can take off that band that symbolized so much for me, I think I can get through anything. As long as I have my son, I know I can get through anything life throws at me.
