Yesterday I received the following text from my daughter while she was in school:
I'm just lettong you know if i die that i love you.
My response: Awww... ILY2.. *hugs* What's up with the dying?
Turns out the school had an emergency evacuation resulting in total chaos, rumors of a bomb threat surfaced and then the kids had early dismissal. I was already on the way. When I got there, kids and cars were pouring out of the school lot with an increasing number of police officers urgently directing the traffic and movement. Definitely unsettling but the school has a great head master who takes charges and acts in the best interests of the students.
Later that evening I had dinner with my oldest son and his girlfriend where they live (@ an hour away). While dining she asked me if I knew that she'd met the former spouse. "No, I didn't but how was it?" She said he was a nice guy, that his wife was off in Greece so he had some free time to see them. It was the first time my son had seen his dad since Christmas.
Two things... I figure my son's relationship is getting more serious since she really wanted to meet all members of our family. The other, I'm not so proud of. I really wanted to hear that she thought the former spouse was a schmuck. Hmmm... I guess I don't like him too much. Have to keep working on letting go of the animosity.
