Olympic Separation

Four years ago this month my last husband left me without warning, just a note on my pillow when I returned from work. I have several memories of that time:

• My co-workers took me out for beer and appetizers (which they paid for - I couldn't even afford to pay). I found out that week that my supervisor had also had a wife who walked out on him.
• I was sort of in shock, but my son was sort of "oh well, what did you expect?"
• My son also helped me get through this by taking me to several movies. I remember we went to see "Kung Fu Panda' and "Wall-E"
• About four weeks later, the Olympics began. I watched them, remembering that the for the last Olympics, we watched it together and shared the experience.

Four years ago seems like a century to me, in terms of where I was then, and where I am now.
