Breath, Silence, Suddenly

Ten years ago, I got married with the man whom I would love till my last *breath*. To me, husband and children are the most important things in my life. I never thought of the misfortune of my marriage although my friends always taught me to be cautious. However, I found out that something has changed between my husband and me recently. For instance, we used to have various topics to talk about, but now *silence* is the only thing between us. Moreover, he used to remember my birthday and gave me a big surprise like taking me to a romantic French restaurant. However, this year, he let me down so deep. I prepared a big meal and waited for him to come back and celebrate with me. To my disappointment, the only gift he gave me was a piece of divorce settlement. *Suddenly*, I realized I was happy about the decision of divorce instead of sadness. Maybe, it was because I was too tired to maintain this scarred marriage. Now, I am a single mother of my two children. Life is hard but at least I am free and satisfied.
