We’ve all heard the phrase “things happen for a reason” and at some point in our lives we realize that these words can actually be true after all, eventhough we would rather not believe them. A close friend of mine just experienced the meaning of these words not too long ago. My friend just got out of a terrible, terrible divorce. It tore apart his family, leaving his children feeling caught in the middle. After his divorce finalized, he decided his life had to change. He had been reading a book called, “how to get your ex back” It helped him realize that he had not been the man he wanted to be, a wonderful husband and father. He conquered his vices, quit drinking, smoking and switched to a healthier lifestyle. Eventually, “things happen[ed] for a reason” and things worked out with his family. Now he and his ex will be re-marrying soon.
