Stand By Me

Many of you know that my twin sister Misty filed for a divorce from her husband of 8 1/2 years. Her husband was living a double life and she finally realized she deserved to be treated better. It has been a difficult time for her and the court date was something she was not looking forward to. Offering support I drove down to Tucson Wednesday morning and went through the hearing process to legally finalize the divorce (which was strange) and then we did our best for the next 48 hours to just enjoy each others company and try to forget about the sadness. We had such a great time eating out, going to the movies, shopping, doing each others hair, indulging in sweets, sleeping in and going to the fair. It was great ...but it had to come to an end eventually and today she had to head back to work and I back to Phoenix.
I love my sister so much and I hate being so far away. She is such a great example of integrity and strength to me and I am so blessed to have her in my life. She puts up with my flaws and encourages me to be better. I just want her to find Mr. Wonderful and be extremely happy. I have no doubt that a lucky guy will jump at the opportunity to spend his eternity with her :-)

I had NO idea!! I am so sorry that she had to go through it, but so happy she got out of a bad situation.
I hope she heals quickly.

I have a single 31 (almost 32) BIL that lives in provo ;) (he hates being set up and I have no idea what Misty likes to do...just like to get the word out).

Ohh, I am so sorry that she has had to go through all of that again. She is such a wonderful person and yes like you said, deserves much better and someone will come along and make her life happy again. Ohhh, tell Misty she is in my prayers!
