RSS Feed2 years....
Posted on Monday, September 22, 2008 at 8:14 PM by Robby Roberts
Two years ago today (09/22/2006) my then wife of 10 1/2 years, who was pregnant with our first child, and I signed the closing paperwork on our first home. We were excited. Yeah, we were out of pocket over $20,000 down payment and closing, but we didn't care! We had a new home and a baby on the way
Less than a month later, on October 14th, we lost the baby. The same week that Patti lost her (Step)Grandmother to cancer.
Less than a year after our closing (Labor Day, 2007), Patti walks out the door. I won't go into details, but our marriage was over. By December, 2007, the divorce was final.
In March of 2008, I find out that I may be a daddy, but those hopes are
dashed not long after the little fella is born in July.
And, how
do I "Celebrate" my 2 years after closing? Cleaning my belongings out of
the house. I have been given until October 18th, then I must turn the
keys over to the mortgage company.
I sit here writing this in my "New place" - an 11x12 room with nothing of my own my my clothes, my computer, my cats and my TV. Everything I own is packed into storage. The bed I am laying my head on is not even mine. I have moved it all my self. No help from my so called friends. No response to emails or phone calls. Emails some claim they never got... but I have the Read Receipts that say otherwise.
Well, there is ONE thing else I have here that is my own... the tears running down my cheek.....
