With Change Comes Light

With Change Comes Light
Originally uploaded by ~Kell~ {Live Laugh Love Photography}.

I've been needing and wanting to write about the changes in my life for some time now. Changes that are very big and affect many people. Changes that I know I need to put out there sort a speak but at the same time they are so personal that I feel uneasy writing about it online.

As some of you already know Kevin and I are in the process of getting a divorce. It's something most will find shocking, some may feel the need to speculate or gossip, others who are so dear to me, won't do either, they will only love and support me through this difficult time.

The last 2-3 years have been quite the roller coaster for Kevin and I. It took a long time and a lot of tears but we have found that we make better friends than husband and wife.

Divorce is not something we ever in a million years thought would happen to us and yet it is. We remain close friends and will always make an amazing parenting team but husband and wife we are no more.

We love each other enough as friends and parents to our children that we want both of us to be truly happy even if we can no longer do that for one another.

Kevin and I had an amazing 11 years of marriage, have three beautiful children, and we know everything, even the hard stuff, happens for a reason. We know we were always meant to be one another's first soul mates and have our three amazing children. We also know we both have second soul mates that we will spend the rest of our lives with. For that we feel truly blessed to not only have that but to recognize that.

As I mentioned above, Kevin and I remain close friends, both online and in real life. If you reply to this, I ask that you be respectful to both Kevin and I. Anything less than that will not be tolerated.

Change can be very very difficult, but change is sometimes necessary.

You have been on my mind and heart so much lately and I keep checking to see if your blog has been updated. I admit I was quite shocked to find out about the latest changes in your life but want to extend my utmost love and support to both you and Kevin. I have 100% faith in both of you that you'll come through this better and stronger people and that your children will reap the benefits of having truly happy parents.
Many hugs and prayers for the days ahead.

Hey Kelly,
I'm so sorry to hear this. I know that I don't know you in real life, but merely in the journals that you have kept on here and iParenting. You and Kevin seem like such great people. Although the news of your divorce comes as a bit of a shock, the way you and Kevin are handling it does not. You have always faced any adversity with dignity and strength, and that appears to be what you are doing now.

Wishing you peace during this stressful time.

Kelly,

I am so sorry to hear about your divorce. Although, it sounds like you both are handling it amazingly well!!

I have been reading your blog from way back to the iParenting days.

My husband and I also separated almost 2 years ago and it has been incredibly difficult to get through. Ours was not an amicable split.

Know that there are people all over (that you don't even know) that are pulling for both of you!

i am so sorry to hear this news, and while i don't need to know the why's, as you said things happen for a reason. you and kevin, i have no doubts will still be awesome parents and still work as a team.
everything will be ok and i will keep you, kevin and the kids in my prayers.

p.s. anyome who wants to gossip about this without getting the facts from you first, are not your real friends.

(((hugs)))

I can't imagine what you must be going through right now. The best I can do is to think you must be dealing with a lot of conflicting emotions and I hope that in the end you will find yourself at peace with your life.

Your pictures are beautiful, as are you. I hope you find that beauty in the rest of your life.
