“Remember you have the power to be the person you want to be if you work on personal growth and invest in yourself. Prioritize your children’s well being and seek strength and guidance from God. Sometimes the end of one journey is the beginning of your blessings. But if your marriage is worth saving fight for it. Take care.”
