Courage

An acquaintance moved her husband out this weekend. In June the marriage had fallen apart but they continued to live in the same house. She went out and got a job. Saved up some money. Waited till the time was right and made her move. She planned. She did what was necessary for her to secure her future without him. It takes courage to wait. It takes courage to go it alone. It takes courage to do what you know is right for you. She didn't stay with him for the sake of the children. She didn't stay with him because she didn't want to be alone. She didn't stay with him because she didn't know any other life. She showed great courage. You go girl!
