You can't go back, but you can see the photos

Just finished reviewing all the photos on Facebook in Gwen's space. She was my mother-in-law for 14 years, and died in May. My ex, Michael, has posted a series of photos of Gwen and her family, organized into decades beginning with the 40's. Most of the old ones I had never seen, as they were the property of Gwen and Bob, but the 70's and 80's had some with me in them - Seventies clothes and all - that were familiar scenes but which I had never seen.

It's quite weird to go back in time like that. Bittersweet, really, because the pictures are of a marriage gone - Mike and I split in the 80's. And yet, there is so much shared history, plus the kids, plus the parents....It is sad that things don't work out some times.
