Awe, your reflections on your parent's marriage are priceless! What a wonderful life they shared and you all have so many great memories to share with each other for the rest of your lives. Your mom seems so sweet and yes, vulnerable right now. Thankfully, she has you to give her support and comfort. My sincere condolences to you all. I love that you said in marriage you grow up together; that is so true! ♥
