Well, Mom and Dad have recently celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. Their relationship is quite a treat because my mother is the laid back, let things go, choose her battles type of woman, and my father is the constantly complaining, stubborn to a T, not ever wrong (even when he's clearly so), control freak of a man.

Mom tends to eat less dairy and meat, and more veggie alternatives plus loves a lot of things my dad would point blank refuse to touch. While Dad is your basic meat and potatoes type of guy (I guess that's what being raised on a Midwestern dairy farm will do).

I don't see how these two are so compatible, but somehow they work. I do have this nagging sort of fear that they will divorce someday as their differences are so, well, different. I just hope that one day, Mom and Dad have an argument over one of the common fuel subjects (subjects that are an ongoing hot topic, so big that it sends a huge wedge in between them.

I guess this fear arose because I grew to realize that nothing in life is a sure thing, well nothing except death and taxes that is. Anything can change in a blink of an eye. It also doesn't help that I've had a few dreams at night where they do, in fact separate and get a divorce.
