THE FEELING - EXCERPTS FROM CHAPTER 10-12 "TWELVE MORE YEARS AND THE FUTURE"

Rachel thought, 
WHEN YOU ARE VERY YOUNG, YOU IMAGINE YOUR LIFE AS THOUGH IT WERE A FAIRY TALE. I NEEDED SPECTACLES FOR MY FIRST MARRIAGE. FOR SURE, MY EYES WERE BLURRY, BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY STARS IN THEM. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING BUT THOUGHT I KNEW IT ALL. 
GETTING DIVORCED HAD BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT EXPERIENCE. 
I WAS TRULY THE ONLY CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME. 
I WAS NO LONGER AN EXTENSION OF SOMEONE ELSE. I SUDDENLY HAD THE NERVE TO DO EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. 
FOR NOAH'S ARK, GOD CHOSE ALL THE CREATURES, TWO BY TWO - DID EVERYONE GET ALONG ON THAT JOURNEY, OR WERE THERE DIVORCES WHEN THEY LANDED ON MOUNT ARARAT? 

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 
Rachel always listened to her Mom, Roz. She'd say, "Where there are choices 
to be made, make the right one!" 
Rachel followed her feelings. Specifically the unspoken feeling and the one that clearly told her all was not well. 
She wished she could teach her children all that she learned, but knew that life experiences could only do that. 
These chapters explain the path Rachel took and the outcome of her life. 
Was there a rainbow at the end?
