Another one joins the flock (III)

[Mike85]

Actually, one of the things that mellowed me out was a conversation I had with S9.

He was becoming upset thinking about what has happened to our family and was worried that W and I were inevitably headed for D.

I explained to him that because I wasn't looking for a D, the process that mommy and daddy are taking will take at least a year (thank you New York state for refusing the "no fault" process!).

He pointed out that one year ago, we were vacationing happily as a family in a beach house in Ocean City and having a great time.

Then he said, "Wow, things can change a lot in just a year, huh?"

We both realized that if things could go from that scene to where we are now in just a year, that things could swing the other way in that span of time also.

Kids.
