We got a call tonight.

Chris' mom called from California to tell us her and Roger have separated. The news came as a total shock and hit me like a ton of bricks.

Chris too. Obviously.

He loves and respects his step dad and the thought of Carolyn and Roger not being able to work out whatever it is tearing them apart....

Lets just say it scared.....scares both of us.

Our own marriage hasn't exactly been on rock solid ground for the past year. And an announcement like this just makes you wonder. Wonder if despite everything you're destined to wind up the same way.

I'd like to say something positive and try to put this all into perspective but its a little too early for that tonight.....
