the ex made good money, and had a generous 401k match. this made our divorce possible. i got a settlement that i thought would allow me to do what i wanted to do- run my farm, and make it better every year.
also got to keep my paid for home.

it seemed so secure. now i can see it turn to ashes. in a flash of a fire.
