Nick and Mariah

So as many of us know by now (or maybe not) Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are officially on the outs. In other words, after trying to figure things out they decided it just wasn't working out anymore, and now are proceeding to get a divorce. While I would like to say I am surprised, divorce rates are scarcely high now-a-days and are not that uncommon to see that much anymore However what was quite extraordinary to see was pictures of the couple (or rather not anymore?) getting together with their kids for an Easter egg hunt this morning, now that is not something you see everyday. However, I believe this is something we could all take careful note of.

A lot of times divorces these days are not very discrete, especially in cases that involve conflict over custody of a child or child's. They often end up in ugly battles resolving with neither of those involved ending up completely satisfied, and along with that comes the strong feeling thrown around, hate. What's extraordinary about this picture is the fact that in the process of their divorce, Nick and Mariah and seem to be displaying just the opposite. That's right, love. Something so simple yet rarely thought of in this kind of end to a relationship.

What many adults fail to realize or pay attention to is the fact that more often then not children that are involved in a divorce get it the worst, and we all realize that, just maybe not so much in the moment. This picture of the family together is not merely a coincidence, in my opinion it is a strong statement. Nick and Mariah easily could have had separate egg hunts with the kids or just chose which one would get the kids for the day, but instead they decided to get together, as a family, and share the moment together. What a great example of commitment.

How incredible it was to see that the parents put their differences aside and put what truly means the most to them ultimately ahead of everything. We all have been kids (or are kids) before, and we know how great it was to see that our parents recognized us and cared about us as we grew up, regardless of what the situation. Nick and Mariah made quite the statement spending time together with their kids today, talk about hope for humanity, this is one to get your pencils out for and jot down.
