Last night, I ended up watching ‘The Notebook’ … again! This time
around, I watched it through a different lens. I felt that Allie was a
fortunate woman to be loved by 2 men who were happy with her being happy. They
gave her the option to walk out on them so she could find happiness!
I committed twice to men who walked out of my life and didn’t care about me being happy! … I wish I lived in a movie.
As Craigley moves forward, Hans has concerns. The boy wonders if his dad is replacing us all - one by one. The boys, both ASid and Hans, were informed that the new woman in their dad’s life comes with 3 boys of her own. One of the boys could be staying with Craigley over the holidays. Hans wanted to know if I had similar plans for my life. Good question. I answered honestly. I have no such plans!
I guess I have been fooled twice, and I don’t believe in the third time being a charm. Also, I am not actively looking for a man to fill the void Craigley left behind because the void has given me much needed breathing room and a new perspective on life. If perchance a man should make an entrance, he would have to be exceptional in every way. And most such men exist only in movies. If only Life imitated Art … or perhaps Art holds Life to higher standards! At least, I am going to do that for myself. I don’t have to be 17 years or 24 years old to deserve a romance. I could be pushing 50 and expect the best!
Hans, my child, Momley is putting us first.
