distance by divorce

my niece use to be married to the man in the above photo, and this is their daughter their one and only child.
I think they have been divorced four or five years now and she has remarried.
My niece’s daughter Rachel, seen in the above photo, put this picture on Face Book and seeing it reminded me of how much I liked Matt (her father) and how much I miss talking to him.

He was a fun guy, serious and he could be angered easily but he could also be a lot of fun.
He loved to tease.

Seeing this picture of him makes me realize how hard it is at times (Okay I knew this before) to have a distance when it is caused by a divorce.

I think I have seen him once or twice since the divorce, and both times it was with a lot of people around and we didn’t really get a chance to talk.
Whenever I see Rachel, I tell her to tell her dad hello for me.
Weather she does or not, I don’t know.

But the picture of the two of them, brings back fond memories.
🙂
Which we all need.
