Requiem for a Dream

It's worth noting that what started on a lovely day in October of 1996 ended today--another lovely day--in a courthouse in San Diego.

We didn't even have to go in front of the judge, we were prepared with all of our signed paperwork, and the facilitator took care of the rest.

Then we went to breakfast and did some shopping. We talked about what to get the kids for Christmas, planned A's birthday party, and made each other laugh. Then we went together to the kids' parent-teacher conferences.

We were friends years before we married. We are friends now. We have children together, and one day, I hope, grandchildren. So this is an ending of something that existed on paper, but I believe the best part lives on.
