Focusing on goals
We began to focus on our goals and dreams, no longer overshadowed by their mother’s return. “Dad, I want to join the soccer team,”

my middle child announced one evening. “Go for it,” I encouraged, relishing this renewed enthusiasm.
The children poured their efforts into school, hobbies, and future plans. It was a shift that signaled healing, a focus on growing and thriving rather than just surviving.
Life felt promising again.
