I have been sending my ex husband home made postcards using photos of the kids as the front. We were never sure if he got them because the post in South Africa can be a bit dodgy.
Today the postman delivered a parcel from him and his wife Annie. There were Christmas cards for Michelle, Caelyn and me and a treasure box of nice things for Wendy.
We were really touched. It was very nice of them and Wendy's stuff was well chosen. She loved it. Judging from different handwritings in different places, Annie had a big part to play in this. I am very pleased for the girls because they used to long for contact with their dad. This looks like a cautious attempt at building bridges and that is great. Life is too short to stay on bad terms with people. The thing is when there is a history of pain between people - as there inevitably is in divorce proceedings - it is hard to let go of old grudges. Then, after a time, you look at the old grudges and decide they really aren't important at all.
