I have been trying to call her, but I'm not sure if I'm blocked or her phone is off. Rosie is going to be the death of me. I still can't believe that she wants us to get a divorce. I thought that she considered me her forever just like I have always considered her mine. I know that I have given her a hard time, it why did she have to leave now?

"I do," she says, keeping her answer short.

"I have been trying to reach her, but her phone is out of service. I don't know how to reach her," I tell her.
