The Lesson of Lake Malone Inn

Today, my x wife, our little boys and I took a short drive to Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. We went and visited Lake Malone State Park, which is about thirty minutes from where Stephanie lives. While we were there we visited the burned out remains of the former Everly Brother’s Lake Malone Inn. It was built in 1975 and burnt down in July of this year after closing due to lack of business.

My wife and I stayed at the Inn about four or five months before it closed and a few months before our divorce. Our trip has made me think about the good times we had while we were married.

I think this experience today has made me think of how destructive divorce is in relating to how the Inn looked a year ago, and how it looked today. I wonder tonight if only we could go back and change the things that made us so distant what it would could be like. But I also think about how wildfire destroys things that were once wonderful.

I’m so glad that my X wife and I can still do things with our two little boys, and who knows maybe someday they will rebuild the Inn in the future. Even after total destruction some things can be rebuilt if you are willing to try.
