Love Differences 4

As she approached her exhusband, to pick up their son, she tought back to the times they shared together before. Of course it could never be the same, or anything like it. And she would never admit to him how much she missed having another person to care for.
And to be cared by.
Besides, she was afraid much of the emotions she felt, was because they shared a child together, and therefore couldn't get out of their lives and forget what had been. It was a comfort to know they where friends, however. At least for the sake of the boy. She herself ha not had the luxury of even knowing of both parents, as her father had vanished shortly after she was born. She did still have contact with the ex-husbands father though, dispite the fact of him not liking it. His father was alone after loosing his wive. A loss she couldn't imagine. The death happened three years ago, and sadly had it's impact on the relationship of her and her ex.
Their kid had never got to know his grandmother very well, making it easy for him to accept it, but for his father it was a sad feeling not to share the wounderfull person his grandmother was.
This was not the fact that had ruined the marriage however. It was his short period of execive drinking that had broke them apart, and lack of love that had not brought them together again.
She pushed all of these toughts away when she saw the best thing in her life, aged at 8, running toward her. It was only a week since he was dropped by his father, and this was no special pick up. Yet they both came together in a huge long lasting hug. She held him tight in her arms, both smiling of joy.

Finaly.
