As determined as you may be not to let this blog sink into menalcholy, from the reader's perspective, it's nice to see a bit of the whole picture.

My sister has been divorced for years now. When my niece graduated, her ex husband was with us (not with his new wife, but that's a whole other story!), and being together with him, my parents, my kids, and my sister's kids made me melancholy.
