If you have to ask me why I work so hard at maintaining a friendship with my ex husband, then you cannot imagine just how much I love my son. If you hint that I might be crazy because of the lengths that I go to . . . I might silently laugh at you.
Because all I have to do is look at this face -
as he stands with his Dad.
or,
his body language as he walks away.
I would gladly suffer a thousand more heartaches to give him joy.
What can I say? I’m a mother.
Until next time -
C

These are great photos. And the way you put him and his happiness first is awesome. (Sorry, couldn’t think of a better word).
My Dearest Catherine,
You are truly an amazing person and I so wish that I could be like you when I grow up! There is no way in the world that I could have maintained any semblance of civility with my ex husband after what he put me through leading up to our separation and subsequent divorce. 22 years after I left his sorry behind, I still wouldn’t urinate on him if he was on fire…Let alone walk across the street to see if he needed as much as a glass of water…You are a much better person than I am, Darlin’…
Hello Lynne – It is so great to see you here again. I wouldn’t even begin to judge the choices you have had to make in your divorce. Some people must certainly protect themselves from ex’s who can hurt them (and their children) and I am sure you have done whatever you needed to do to survive. So many people want to judge others for how they have managed their lives. I firmly believe most of the world does the absolute best that they can, and frankly dear, I’d be the last to judge anyone. I appreciate your comments so much and am always glad when you stop by. You hold your head up proud girl, because you survived – and THAT means everything.
Catherine
