CHAPTER 18: THE NEW LIFE

I moved into a condo in Austin.
It was smaller than the lake house, but it was perfect. Modern. Convenient. Close to everything.
I started my new life. I went to work. I made new friends. I traveled. I dated. I laughed.
It wasn't easy. There were still days when I felt the weight of everything. But I had learned to carry it. To live with it. To let it go.
I was happy.
Not because I had forgotten.

But because I had moved on.
And that was the greatest victory of all.
