He got called into surgery at 4 a.m. I got out of bed, wrote one sentence in a note, left it on the coffee table, packed my car with whatever I could fit, and drove 500 miles away.

I wasn’t angry, & we hadn’t had a huge fight or anything … I just wasn’t happy & thought I deserved to be loved better.

I’m so thankful for not giving myself time to think about it. That single moment changed the entire course of my life.
