Divorce

My mom and dad signed their divorce papers today. I can't really even explain how it seems to me that you could just end 25 years of marriage with the stroke of a pen. I imagine them sitting together at the kitchen table signing the papers. Were they both crying? Was it just my mom? How would it feel to be in that position? It breaks my heart. I seriously never thought my parents would get divorced. I bet everyone says that, huh? Or maybe not. That it was always other people's parents. I can officially say now, my parents are divorced. I guess it never really struck me before because they were technically still married, you know? It's so sad.... tragic. Makes for heavy hearts.
