A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.
"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay" he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

Speaking of Thanksgiving, this year my whole family is going to be in one place instead of me and my wife driving across the state and eating 4 different meals. :clap_1: We are so excited! We can just stuff ourselves and pass out instead of getting in the car. Can't wait.
What is really amazing is that my folks (divorced and remarried) get along well enough to sit at the same dinner table.

I know. These are the days! I just went to a wedding reception where they had to make sure all the divorced couples weren't sitting near each other so there wouldn't be confrontations.

When my daughter got married, the stepmom and I lit the unity candle together and watched her walk down the aisle, by both her dad's with our arms linked and wiping each others eyes so we didn't ruin our make-up.
On Monday night when our grandson came into this world, the 4 of us, both dads and both moms were all holding hands and being thankful that we had all been adult enough to be able to enjoy this miracle with no wierdness. We went to dinner and toasted with our son-in-law for the miracle that had taken place.
We've had some bumps along the way. But the love of that baby, child, young lady, wife and now a Mommy has always been our focus. I feel sorry for people that are too short sighted to do that. You really miss out on so many good times!

It is great that you put your kids first rather than any disagreements you may have had with your ex. That's what its all about.
