I was surprised yesterday.  I got an unexpected visit from my ex-husband.  He came by to talk to our son.  He said he wanted to make things between him and our son right.  He hasnt had much to do with our son in almost 2 years.  He said that he tried to kill himself on sunday night a week ago.  He said if it hadnt been for his wife he would probably not be here.  He came to ask our son for forgiveness and wants to be in his life.  He also wanted to ask me for forgiveness and I said what for.  He said for our divorce.  I told him dont worry about it I forgave you a long time ago.  He said thank you and asked if he could hug me and I said sure.  He said he feels better knowing all of this.  I told him take the time out focus on yourself and your kids.  He has another son besides our 2 kids.  I am just hoping this isnt a joke and he makes it right between himself and our son.  He said he and his wife are separated because she cant accept our son and doesnt want him around his father.  I told him if him and her get back together that is great, but she has to accept our son.  You just never know where life is going to take you.  I am proud that my son and his father are trying to work it out between them.  They need each other.  It took a tradegy like trying to kill himself to make him realize he needed our son.  I just hope this is for real and not a joke.
