One day while discussing my folks with wildmom, wildmom asked in that just checking way "Your folks are close right?" I said they were and she added "I mean like CREEPY close right?" I laughed and told her that that was exactly what they are.
Dad got more good news. He took another PSA test and his levels fell again. Upon hearing this good news Dad kept off the couch and yelled out what he had just heard. Mom ran over to dad and they hugged and kissed. They both seemed so incredibly happy. I couldn't help wondering what was going through mom's mind, because I imagine that if I were in her place there would be a little ice cold part of my heart that was wondering why you were getting a break and everything was so painstakingly hard for me. But we all know I have big heart of ice anyway.
This morning I knew the two of them were awake when the scumcle called. I went onto the room and they were lying in bed facing each other with their hands propped up because their fingers were intertwined as they gazed into each other's eyes. All me and my stone cold heart could think was " Wow, mom can stare him right in the face and he doesn't even have his teeth in yet."
I tell you, I'm holding out for this kind of connection. If your parents have found it, it must be attainable.
Think about it: adoration in the morning (before not only brushing of teeth but also inserting of teeth). Your mother's happiness at her husband's good news is beyond charming. It's delicious to read.

Their relationship comes at a cost though. When you are creepy close like that you put your spouse above and before all others and you loose your sense of self and your children become alienated. There is a happy medium out there. My parents are not in the happy medium.
