I love your strength Miss Washington
First, I want you to know, I'm familiar with Dirty Hearts! I've played it... but my heart got broken as well. We married, but never had a baby together. When I got pregnant, he got distant as well. But then I had a miscarriage. I thought we could make it through, but there was something about me having a baby that turned him off. I wish I understood it. Because I really love him... anyway, your story is so inspiring. :)
Life is too short to dwell
Life is too short to dwell on the past. Take each day at a time, do something that makes you smile. You will meet Mr. Right, but first, it's important that you love yourself and laugh and you will attract the right situation that will suit you. Look for part 2 and 3 soon.

Curious How You're Doing Now?
One way or the other we manage to get through the initial stuff. In my case I was devastated. It still hurts, but I've burried it.
I have two kids. They're the pride of my life but it wasn't easy.
I'm curious how are you today? How's your child? What are you doing?
Maybe we can chat. You look so poised and successful.

Your video
You still look like a beauty queen. Your video was so heartfelt. It made me want to know the whole story. Did you ever get back together?
How is your daughter?
You're the kind of woman that we'd all like to sit down with to have a long chat. You're great!

Andrea, Thank you. No, but
Andrea,
Thank you. No, but I'm in second marriage of 14 years and have a 13 year old son. My daughter's doing great, she's a singer in her 20's now. Look for part 2 and 3 of the interview soon.

You have such a fresh look..
... and a wonderful view on life. You can tell that you're above all the petty stuff. To have risen above all that petty stuff that so many relationships end up going through is so inspiring. I wish we could be like that. My husband and I going through it right now, and we just end up hitting it beneath the belt so many times. anyway... I'll aim higher because of you :)
Thank you. Look for part 2
Thank you. Look for part 2 and 3 coming soon.
