I have not seen my kids in three weeks due to summer vacation but I see them tomorrow. I am looking forward to it. Emotionally I have been a bit down, sorrow mostly. Sorry for what could have been but cannot be. I hope the kids perk me up.
Saw my lawyer yesterday and she is reworking the settlement. Not many changes so it should be quick. Once the papers are final and signed, the judge signs and we are history. No need to even appear in court! The settlement is fair - I made out better financially but I had to accept the "standard" visitation 40/60 time split. But after doing the standard for a year now (under the standard court order) the judge would most likely not change it anyway. Price I paid for moving out to "give her space".
Oh well - quality time over quantity.
My lawyer is in her late 40's and I learned she remarried since I saw her last (before Christmas). Quick romanace, but the bad news is that her new H learned he has cancer and the outlook is not good. She reminded me how fragile life is and how she wished she could shake my former W to learn to appreciate what you have.
Sooooooo, life continues on. I hope it gets better for me and the others here.
John - long time. Thanks for keeping up. So old guys like us really can date again??? I hope you are in good health and your employment opportunities continue. Keep busy.
