Daniel Farrell

Alicia moved out this week(see here if you are confused). She started moving things to her new apartment when she got back from visiting her family and started sleeping there on Tuesday night when her new bed arrived. She’s got a couple of dressers to get still but is pretty far along. Tonight she moved two of our cats(Audrey and Piper) over there. This is going to take some getting used to. :-/

Today is a day to remember those we lost in the Virginia Tech shooting that happened 3 years ago. For me that is Jarrett. For those who don’t know, Jarrett was my brother-in-law. So today I’m remembering Jarrett. Jarrett was:

• a fantastic son to Tracey
• a amazing grandson to Nancy and Bob
• a wonderful brother to Alicia and Fawn
• a great brother in law to Roger and I
• an awesome friend to all his friends

Thinking back to 4/16/2007 brings up a lot of hurt. It was an awful and horrible day and no one should ever have to experience a day(or week for that matter) like that. But all I can do to handle that experience and the loss is to be grateful for the time I had with Jarrett. Jarrett, it was such an honor to have you in my life for the time that I did. You were a great brother-in-law and friend. I miss you terribly.

Hey blog readers. I need to fill you in on some very sad news. My marriage to Alicia has been struggling for some time. I’ve not really known why but have been trying everything I can think of to make it work and unfortunately it hasn’t been helping. A couple weeks ago in couples counseling Alicia told me she wants a divorce and so we are separating. There has not been any cheating or anything inappropriate she just does not want to be married in general and has apparently felt this way for a number of years.

I am not real stoked on that as you might guess if you know me. I’m going to do everything I can to make space for her to change her mind at some point but it is not seeming likely at this time. I’d appreciate your prayers for us both and I am asking everyone to treat Alicia with love and respect.
