I married the first man who told me he loved me

14

In God’s time, I met a kind widower, another teacher, who became my second husband.

For the first time, I felt truly loved, respected, and appreciated. I built a circle of wonderful friends and found joy in the confidence I had regained.

Years later, at a family gathering, my aunt and her children barely recognized me. My aunt looked at me, astonished, and asked, “What happened to you?”

And I replied, “God did!”

I had grown so much that people had to get to know me all over again.
