Being in the same room



My mom got a picture today of her parents(on the right)...in the same room...smiling...and no lawyers present. It is the only picture she has ever seen of the two of them together. They had a nasty miserable divorce and then custody battle over my mom that went all over the tabloids...ah yes...the purple diary. But here they are...in black and white...in the same room together. At least once. It's too bad ex's can't get along--at least for their kids' sake. I sometimes feel like my girls are too worried or uncomfortable if I am in the same room as their dad. It's too bad. Grammy has only one picture of her parents in the same room...and never after that. I'm not sure what I can say or do so the girls can feel peaceful if their parents are in the same room. I guess time will heal...it only took Grammy 76 years to see her parents in the same room.
