Following the tragic and unexpected death of his former wife of
eighteen years, the author reflects on his life with her; whether
the bitter was in fair proportion to the sweet. He was entranced
seeing her the first time. Their feverish romance led to a rushed
and chaotic wedding and soon their daughter. Their story was the
heartrending attempts leading to a second child and her frustrated
attempts at perfecting her life. Struggling with fertility problems
along with confidence and career troubles, the couple moves around
the country in search of solutions. After years of effort
attempting to build the perfect life, the marriage ends in
infidelity and divorce. Suddenly being a single father, while
resurrecting his trust and confidence in humanity, he has to
balance his needs with his children's in order to keep both parents
in their lives. Excerpt from the book: "The email from him to my
wife began: 'My beloved friend and confidant' - which strangely did
not jab my gut right away, since the first emotional response to
death and dying is denial. It arrived as a cold-hearted explanation
of the last year of increasing distance between me and my wife, and
petty fault finding about her less than perfect husband...I read
on. 'Let's make sure we have plenty of time for us and a lot of
time for making love.' That was the sentence that drove metal
electrodes into my heart, and the last phrase of the email slammed
closed a switch to send a thousand amps of electricity eviscerating
my heart: 'I love you' was the ending."
