Divorce

I am not thankful nor grateful for divorce, but it is a part of my personal life.  I have had to live through my parents divorce, my mom's second divorce and my dad's second and third.  Interesting. 

My niece and nephew have been living through a divorce now too.  Sad situation. 

Is there something to be grateful for amidst the sadness and pain that comes with divorce.  I am not so sure there is, but I do believe that there is something to be learned from the situation, the issues the arise and the process. 

I am not one bit happy that my niece and nephew are living through this...but I am grateful that I can share my experiences and heartaches  with them on a personal level.  I am appreciative of their feelings and insights on what they are going through at the moment. 

I am grateful that we are learning from each through the many day-today struggles and regardless of the years between our ages.
