A view from the other side if I may. I don't know that anything could make me happy. That said I've told my ex and my children that whatever they want to do on "special" days I'll do. I'm not going to die or lose a limb just going to dinner or whatever else the three of them decide. A little less pride or a little pain is worth the happiness of others. I feel I can recover from it and put it behind me knowing I did what I could in the name of family, broken or not.

My life is about showing I can still do somethings right from time to time.
