My exhusband is taking a trip to Mexico with his new family and wants to include our children. I will let him do this because he is their father and I have no reason to step in the way of the relationship with our children and him. He was an awful husband but a great father. He loves all his children so much and I see this love when I see my children return from a weekend with him for they have his love in their eyes and it is a beautiful thing. Every once in a while I can talk to my exhusband like an old friend and this is what happen today. He told me earlier on the phone how he need me to sign a paper so he could take our children to Mexico so he wanted me to meet him at this place on 24th street. I told him just to call me later with the time to meet him. Well it so happen I went to stop at this store on 24th street which was a block away from where we were to meet. I was busy looking at my list and my exhusband walk in. He said "When your done here can you meet me to sign that paper." I smiled at him and said "Sure!" When he left I felt happy to have seen him and for the first time I felt different. I did not feel love or hate for this man. All anger and hurt feelings were gone. I felt at peace with his present. So I bought my things and left to meet him. When I walk out the door there was this down pour of rain as if someone was standing with a bucket of water and just pouring it. I walk to my SUV anyway for I felt this happiness and peace all around me. I was looking forward to seeing my exhusband again. I went to the place and while we wait our turn, I started to talk to him about all kinds of things. It was like running into and old friend once again. We were just catching up with everything and it was fun. After signing the paper we walk to the door the rain was coming down even harder then before. We stood there he and I for that moment in time chatting and watching the rain. That peace and happiness was felt by me as we stood and talk. Then he said "Well I am just park right there so I am going now." He look at me with such a peaceful and happy smile. The moment was just beautiful. I watch as his car pulled out into the street and drive away. I then walk back to my SUV which was not park close but it did not matter. I let myself get soak by that rain feeling the happiness deep in my heart for I was leaving the old friend behind. Like Talking To An Old Friend.
