A wonderful Christmas story - the short version

A wonderful Christmas story - the short version

If I had to describe the last four months of my life, it would sound like a country record played backwards - I got my wife back, my son back, and my dog back! (I don't have a truck, so I couldn't get that back ;-) )

After four years of separation and divorce, and via divine intervention, my "ex wife" and I have reconciled.

A number of miraculous events had set the stage, including the Roman Rota overturning a declaration of nullity and changes in both of our hearts towards one another - and towards God.

We used the gift of Retrouvaille to help build our relationship and tear down the walls we made over 9 years of marriage and 4 years of separation and divorce.

My wife and my son moved back to NY early in December so that we could be a complete family again.

And on this Blessed Christmas day, via two separate early pregnancy tests, our suspicions that she was pregnant were confirmed - we have been blessed with the presence of another child - and we are thrilled to say the least!

We are truly blessed this Christmas, and we hope that many others who find themselves separated and divorced will see through our story that nothing is impossible with God.

One day I'll write the long version, but for now this short version will have to do. May your Christmas be as blessed as ours is...
