I can't speak for anyone else, but my reason for this blog is to write. Aside from a small group of writers in Charleston, South Carolina, with whom I spent 10 Wednesday evenings a year for seven and half years, I can't imagine why anyone would want to read this. But I need to write it.
So here is what it comes down to for me. While in Charleston, I could quite legitimately say that my ex wife had created a financial situation that was both crippling and insurmountable. In order to provide better for my kids I had to move back to Niagara Falls, Ontario and at the age of forty move us in with my parents. I have great parents. I know you rarely hear that, but it is true. Anyway, back to my original point: now that I have the support that I have been saying that I needed, will I actually knuckle down and do the things I told everyone that I could do once I had this support.
And let me say that the kids and I are super busy getting settled in, but in quiet moments I find I have the time to feel both the joy of having come home and the loss of so many good friends in the South.
