Today, this evening at 6.15 I removed my wedding ring.
Keeping it on was not only my link to the past but was a way of protecting myself and telling others that I am not available. That has been my intention, but this evening something clicked and made me realise that actually I'm okay, I don't need a ring to protect me, I'm a big girl now, I can protect myself, I am no longer married, I have been set free!
The past year has been a huge learning curve for me...
I have found myself. I was lost but now I am found, my soul dances like she never danced before.
I'm alive
I love life! X

Dearest Kim, thank you for being so inspiring, strong, courageous and AMAZING. I've often wondered if I'd ever be able to take my ring off (for the reasons you mentioned) if I were widowed. Thank you for showing me that life does move forward, that we do find strength, and that we can be free. I'm so in awe of you, as a mother, a woman, and as the wife you were to Tim. You're an incredible human being who never ceases to move me.
ReplyDeleteLife is an incredible journey, nothing is going to stand in my way. xx
