K: I remember my Mom always saying how blessed our family was. Everyone was married long term -no Ds in our family. At the turn of the millenium - that's how it was - Mom and Dad, 4 kids all married. Fast forward 8 years...

Mom passed away and Dad is dating Joan.

Leenie and her H split in Aug 00

Chuck and I split in Aug 01

Luckily, my parents' marriage lasted 55 years. Still, our family structure is NOTHING like it was just a few years back.

Guess we just have to roll with the punches.
