Just learned that Ex's uncle passed away. I liked him & he & his wife had stayed in touch with me since the D - Christmas cards etc yet never stayed in touch with ex. Anyway... The interesting thing is that he has exactly the same name as ex - Chuck K. And his wife's name is the same as mine - Barb K. People always got us confused. I got calls for them for the dentist - we used the same pharmacy, bank etc. I was worried that my kids might get upset as people would contact them, thinking their dad had passed. They know nothing of his side of the family. I sent ex a message, passing on my condolences & did the same with the family (I had gone to school with Ex's cousins). He replied appropriately. Weird how no matter how much time, distance & divorce comes between us - we are forever connected.
