A rose by any other name...

A friend once asked me why I didn’t call my ex-husband, well, “my ex-husband”. Instead I always say “Bar’s dad”.

It’s simple. The term “my ex-husband” is too possessive for me. To me, he is not “my” anything any more. But he will always be our daughter’s father.

He was a good dad when she was growing up. He loved having her with him, whether he was working in his garden or going to the hardware store.

And while she has my face, my hair, and my personality, she has his ears, his hands and his teaching spirit.
