Yesterday on Mother’s Day I remembered the anniversary of two sad events. I have one more to mark today. I hope there will no more sad anniversaries for me to note for a while.
Twenty years ago today, by court order in a child custody suit over the decision of my then wife to end our marriage, I no longer had my children living in the same home with me. Words could never express how shattering were the days and months and years that followed.
In spite of having the presence of my three sons in my home limited to every other weekend and a few evening hours during the week, we made some very unique memories over the years. There were many frustrations and disappointments mixed with special moments and awesome adventures. Time and space will not permit the sharing of those memories on this page.

Yet I am gratified that now my three grown sons, though each lives in a different location, all live within a twenty minute drive of my home. It is sort of like those child custody days again … I would be very fortunate to see them every other weekend … but we all know that whenever we so desire we can quickly see each other. And now there are three grandchildren as well.
Life goes on …and on!
Life goes on …and on!
