When I lived in Calvin, I would come to this place pretty regularly
to meet my ex-wife in order to pick up or drop off my daughters. My
ex and I chose this place to meet because it was approximately
halfway between her house and mine. We were often here for a short
time on Friday evenings, and again on Sunday evenings. While we
usually time it pretty well, sometimes I might arrive first and
need to wait a bit.
Being the people watcher that I am, I couldn't help but notice
other families using this same spot for the same purpose.
Apparently, this is a pretty popular place to meet. I often see
kids and suitcases being exchanged and the vehicles going in
opposite directions on either I-40 or US 377.
While I'll be the first to tell you that divorce stinks - and is
pretty much a national tragedy - it makes me very happy to see so
much effort being put forth by individual families to make sure
that these dads are still an active and important part of these
kids' lives.
Statistics make it very clear that divorced parents who behave
and keep the other parent active in the family raise far more
successful and well-adjusted children. While it took some time to
get here, I feel very fortunate to have an ex-wife who tries to
keep things simple and pleasant.
