To my ex husband, thank you!

Thank you for traveling out of town endlessly. You taught me how to be independent.

Thank you for ignoring me when you were home. It taught me I can be alone and gave me so much time to learn who I was.

Thank you for never cooking. I have become quite the little Suzy homemaker and cook some amazingly delicious meals.

Thank you for talking down to me. It made me stronger and in an odd way built my inner confidence.

Thank you for treating me poorly and not loving me the way I deserved. It made me more open and aware to how I do deserve to be treated.

Thank you for cheating on me. It made me learn to cherish my loved ones more and how not to treat the people you love.

Thank you for teaching me how to love. Because of how you treated me it taught me how to truly love and be loved in return. It taught me compromise, to appreciate and to not take things for granted. To notice the small things in life. To allow the love of my life into my heart and to love him with every ounce of my being. So thank you for the heartache and the endless nights of crying myself to sleep. I now fall sleep happy and cuddled in the arms of the man I will spend the rest of my life with because we love each other unconditionally just the way we are.

So, THANK YOU!!
