Family day here in Canada.. D16 went to spend the week-end with her father. She said: " This is the second time we spend it alone, me and him. Nobody else but us 2. We went to Timmins on Saturday and snow shoeing on Sunday. He shared a lot of memories of you and him. Your name came up often. He said the first purchased you did when you started having a family was a Camcorder." lol yes, it was

I started sharing some recordings of them with her.. Each children have a special moment on tape. we had a good laugh but got off track about ex-H..

It makes me very happy when he dedicate his time to our children without the presence of OW and her child. It is not about jealousy. It is more about normality, closeness, sense of belonging, relationship parent-child. It is about BONDING!!

I see it in them when they come back home. They truly enjoyed themselves.

I have serious mechanical problem with my Durango. D16 mentioned it to Ex-H because me and son were also on our way to Timmins and he inquired why. We were going to look for a possible trade-in.

When Ex-H dropped her off at home, he seemed reluctant to leave. He kept me outside for awhile, talking about mechanic and warranty.... He was very kind, calm and trying to be helpful. I thank him and said Good night before going back inside.

Today, D16 thought she saw him around here twice. He did not contact anyone. ???

Not much going on. Contact are still far in between but more often as time pass. I would say, 1 or 2 per month.
