I distinctly remember Memorial Day weekend 2007. W out of blue was nicer than she'd been to me in months and suggested me, her, and the boys go away for a fun weekend like we used to. Ended up at her family's for part of the weekend, mine for the rest, in general having a good time and feeling more like a family than we had in a long time.

Turned out she filed for divorce the Friday before and I was "served" on Tuesday.

I urge caution on reading too much into friendly interactions and trying to figure out their motivations.

Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
