Countdown to Goodbye
My husband, Lawrence Schwartz, and I were both liars.
He lied to me, saying he would forget his first love, yet his phone is filled with photos of her.
I lied to him, saying I would never leave, while secretly planning a future without him.
A month ago, I tricked Lawrence into signing the divorce papers.
Today was the final day to complete the entire divorce process..
Three hours left. I packed all my luggage and bought a plane ticket for the next day.
Two hours left. I cut up every photo of us together, leaving only myself in the album.
Last hour. I thought about leaving a message, then decided against it.
Today marked the tenth year I had loved him and the first day I left him.
