This is great
Really moving. Your visuals lend so much meaning to your narrative without being literal.
What they said ...
I agree with the comments above.
I don't know you but I've seen a few other still pictures of your kids as they look today via twitpic and I'd say they look pretty well adjusted and downright happy -- would they have been so well adjusted had you two stayed on just so they would not have to be shuffled back and forth?
My guess is no.
Thanks for the nice, intimate portrait.
Heartbreaking
Chad McCool looks at a wrenching topic from a very personal perspective. His use of grainy home movie/cell phone footage drew me in, and his narration broke my heart.

beautiful piece, gorgeous
beautiful piece, gorgeous children
Life does truly go on
It is often difficult as a parent to make choices that could have a negative impact on your children, but in the long run life does go on for all involved.
Touching
So many of our children are going through the same thing... so many of us have gone through it. Life does go on. It's what we decide to do with that life that counts. Thanks for reminding us.
