  how much my mom and dad loved each other.
  Whenever one of them went out, they kissed each

  this was gross! But when I get married, I can
  only hope that I will have found someone who
  loves me as much as Dad loves Mom. Because there
  was always so much love in the family, I grew up
  with an incredible security blanket.

• 2. Mom battled breast cancer when I was in
  college. Despite his worry, Dad was a pillar of
  strength for us and especially for her. After her
  mastectomy, she decided against the added trauma
  of breast-reconstruction surgery. Mom told me
  that in their entire marriage Dad never suggested
  that she even change her hairstyle. Instead he
  has always told her how beautiful she is. And
  thats why she thinks fighting cancer wasnt as
  hard as it could have been. She knew that no
  matter what, Dad and his love would be there.
