Honey Robins (née Hedrick) and I were married 15 years when she left with our son (then seven months) in March 2018 to live with her parents in West Virginia.
Her parents inherited her grandfather, David G. Pollock, and her grandmother’s house, near the chapel in Otsego, and that’s where David is now. When I could see David in 2018, she would bring David to the second service, and I could spend time with him in the playroom, which had a speaker to hear the message (sermon).
We met after I moved to Memphis, TN in 2002, for my second job after graduating from the University of Waterloo (BMath, Computer Science), working for Hilton, which had corporate offices near Audobon Park. I drove down to see someone who turned out to be a mutual friend, Frank Burgess, in Marble Hill, MO, and he introduced me to Honey and shortly after I went to visit her, meeting up at the “Tamarack” art/souvenir grounds. We were engaged at Natchez Trace Park in Tennessee and married in 2003. We lived in several states since then – Massachusetts briefly, Washington – where I worked for Microsoft and she started taking courses towards her Bachelor’s, Florida, and (in part to be closer to her parents) Indiana.
If you pray, pray for a pathway to reconciliation and restoring our family. God can do what is impossible for us (Luke 18:27). I take hope from books like I Do Again (Cheryl and Jeff Scruggs, 2008) where even after divorce a couple returned to God and to each other.
