I Used to Think...

I used to think I knew what a perfect marriage was…
Then my parents got divorced.

I used to think my grandfather walked on water…
Then he got stomach cancer and died.

I used to think I was better off alone…
Then I met my husband.

I used to think there was no hope…
Then I started working with kids.

I used to think I knew it all…
I’m still learning that I don’t.
