>After 21 years of marriage, I discovered a new way of keeping alive

>"I know, but you also love her."

>The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who

>"What's wrong, are you okay ?" she asked. My mother is the type of

>"I thought that it would be nice to spend some time with you," I
>responded.
>
>"Just the two of us ?" She thought about it for a moment, then said,
>"I would like that very much."

>That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit

>When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be

>My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat

>
>"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,"
>she said.
>
>"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I
>responded.
>
>During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation - nothing

>
>I agreed.

>"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home.

>"Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.

>Some time later I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant

>At that moment I understood the importance of saying, in time: "I

Mr. Mary is a wonderful dad, too, I'm lucky. I think he and I are trying to be good parents to make up for our own childhoods. Anyway, good luck, Ammie, and I'll send some good thoughts your way. Mrs. Potato is right, love em up whenever you get the chance!

thx girls! I always love them up when i get the chance they no that there mama loves them, and i wont stop til i have them in my arms again where they belong!! Devorice is not a pretty thing, but i will not play tug of war with my childeren. So if i have to let them be for a lil bit and do it the right way so they have stablity, and dont see me and him fight. As much as its killin me there not goin thru as much mental shit as they could be if i just kiddnapped them back like he did to me. It would be a never ending thing because he would just do it again then u would have to and they would just be goin back in forth and be all confussed. I wont hurt them like that. Ill wait for the judge soon i hope :)

Ammie, that sucks...i hate that you have to go through something like that...i kinda know what its like except i was the kid...
i hope that everything turns out right......*wishes u luck*
