Congrats to your mom and dad for making it further than most of us can in months.

My DH's parents have been married for more than 50 and it amazes me.

Their 46th in April.

They are so cute together, still hold hands when they go for a walk, and still say "I love you" to each other every night before going to bed...

I adore them.

If no one has told you lately, allow me to be the first...

You are truly a MAN; a GREAT MAN. Can you clone yourself about
a thousand times and send one THIS WAY? I'm speechless.

head this way and Ragerize H. Big Time. And Real Soon.

Your parents did an awesome job - maybe you should blog about how you were brought up. H talks about his Mom (he's a twin, they were her youngest, out of 8 kids) rubbing his feet at night. And sneaking stuff she bought for her darlings into the house after his Dad (who worked 3 jobs to put food on the table) went to bed.

I'm living with the results of "entitlement" parenting (at least for the current week). H.

So congrads to your folks-way to go, Rags Mom & Dad!

Congrats to your parents, Rags! That is truly a wonderful accomplishment.

My DH's folks were married for 40 years. They didn't have the perfect marriage, but they loved each other and stuck with each other throughout the good times and bad. My FIL died of melanoma 5 years ago, and it was such a devastating loss. Even though the kids were very damaged by PAS, they were very close to him, especially OSD. I think that, when FIL passed on, the kids felt that they lost the only person who understood them. But we tell them all the time that FIL was right there next to them in their therapy sessions and in their processes of recovering from PAS and when their lives were improving, and is still and always be there for them in their hearts. My mom and stepdad have been married for 21 years. I love my stepdad and stepsibs and can't imagine life without them.
