One Email

Is it possible, for 1 action, or 1 word, or perhaps 1 Email , to change the course of your life…..?

It did in mine.

As with most such things, it happened without emphasis, without loud announcements and without any fan fare. It happened on a quiet day, in a quiet way. The earth did not shake, and the stars did not fall from the sky – but looking back, I realise it might as well have – so great was the effect in my life, and the children’s lives. It happened with 1 email.

This is what landed in my inbox, about 2 months after I had stopped writing to NMH (Not Murderous Husband)

Hi Yvonne


I know that I don’t know you or your children, but I was wondering how you are doing? I find you and the children occuring in my prayers more and more.


NMH


So – now I guess you can put 2 and 2 together and jump straight to the end of the story! Can we “rename” Not Murderous Husband and call him Now My Husband? (NMH gets a brand new meaning.)

Let me introduce you to Werner – Cream Puff’s X husband.

In the posts to come, I will tell you how our friendship grew, and how this one email became such an important one. For after this email – I began to writing him, and no one’s disapproval made any difference. We write each other, to this day!
