This has been such a difficult weekend for myself and my sons. My boys are devastated by this loss of their father and they are trying to deal with the reality of living life without him. Being his ex-wife, our relationship was sometimes complicated but we parented our sons together and were very close friends until the end. He lived with me recently with his health issues and even when he moved back to his house, we talked or texted almost every day. Ken and I have come a long way over the last 30 years .. from a wonderful friendship to a beautiful marriage, having two amazing sons, an unfortunate divorce, and then eventually back to the wonderful friendship where we continued raising our sons together. Sure .. there were difficult times mixed in, but so many wonderful times as well. Not only have I felt love for Ken for the remainder of his life, but I will continue to feel that love for the rest of mine.
