1982, Twenty-five years ago. We were married, Feb. 14.

We have two children, shown here:



and here:




And here they are with their father and grandfather:




Any how, I wanted to acknowledge the mother of my children.

We've been divorced for 20 years,
and we have been able to put our children's
needs before any thing else.

Thank you Cindy, for our children.

4. She's not a DUer, and she knows all about it.
I just wanted to tell people that might not know,
that I am grateful for the mother of my children.

:hi:

P. S. She knows. We talk almost daily.

8. Wow, how heartwarming, ptah. I'm sorry it didn't work out, but you've done OK
I wish my parents would've been able to do the same thing. :( They've been divorced 35+ yrs, but to this day they don't have a healthy relationship or even a civil one. Mom won't even be in the same room with him, much to my Dad's chagrin. It's sad....for all of us. Sigh. Oh well.

:hug: :hi:

Back at you.

Your loss of your cat saddened me.

14. Wow, great work, ptah! Thanks for sharing that link.
:applause: Wonderful pictures. What a perfect choice of song, too.

Amazingly, I've never heard the Louie Armstrong version of that song before.

Thanks for your kind words about our cat. :hug: Life goes on....

15. You didn't mean for it to happen,
and yet you smiled when it happened.
