Had a wonderful day with the kids and some friends. Went somewhere I had memories of having gone with H and the kids in the past...but more profound than the mild sadness was a feeling of gratitude for what was and gratitude for what is now.

Was with a soon to be WAW friend...tough to have her acknowledge how much happier I seem. I feel that is my duty no matter what, to be happier, not a testament to the benefits of divorce. Interesting conversation.

In the car, S9 asked if H and I are still married... crazy and S6 whimpered that he wants daddy to come home...tough stuff. But it is what it is. I honestly don't know what to say.
