Three guys were fishing in a lake one day, when an angel appeared in the boat. When the three astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the first guy asked the angel humbly, "I've suffered from back pain ever since I took shrapnel in the Vietnam War... Could you help me?" "Of course," the angel said, and when he touched the man's back, the man felt relief for the first time in years. The second guy wore very thick glasses and had a hard time reading and driving. He asked if the angel could do anything about his poor eyesight. The angel smiled, removed the man's glasses and tossed them into the lake. When they hit the water, the man's eyes cleared and he could see everything distinctly. When the angel turned to the third guy, the guy put his hands out defensively - "Don't touch me!" he cried, "I'm on a disability pension." Happy April Fool's Day! Dear Friends, Happy April Fool’s Day!!

While it has not been easy, today, I'm blessed to have very loving and solid relationships with each former wife and their husbands. As we like to say, "We put the fun in dysfunction." Nobody wins - especially the kids - when adults carry hatred and bitterness forward. What are we teaching children about effectively dealing with change, challenge and adversity when we - in the throes of divorce - don't handle it well?
