Took Trinity shopping for father’s day stuff one day last week, and finished up this morning. Her father was picking her up at noon. She got to give her gifts to Jonathon before she left, and went with Gary carrying a wrapped present. I was pleased to get it all done in time. Everyone treats divorce like it’s the end of things, but if you have shared custody of children, it isn’t. Five years after the divorce and I’m still helping pick out father’s day gifts for him. And strangely, between Trin and me I’m pretty sure that he’ll like the gifts. Jon loved his. Everyone thinks that divorces are all about bitterness and hate, but most of the time they’re more about sadness, and just not wanting the same things out of life. I’ve never been happier in my life, but there is a certain poignancy to looking at books on astronomy and space for my ex-husband.
