Revelation

I was afraid to say these things for fear that they would cease to be true but then again, I say a lot of bad things here. What would it hurt to say something nice for a change? So here it is:

I had no problem leaving the kids with the he-ex this weekend. Whew! There, I said it.
I talked to him on the phone at least 4 times before I dropped the kids off to him. At first I was difficult and distant but he didn't get angry at me. I even made a smart ass comment about him and he didn't take it personally. He listened when I spoke and didn't demand his own way. His voice was calm.

When I finally saw him, he was visibly different. His face was clear, eyes open and focused. There were no frown lines and he was standing tall. He spoke honestly and openly with me. I was impressed by his maturity.

I hope that things continue to improve for him. It's so good to see the kids have their father back. Please God, make this the beginning of much healing and happiness. Amen
