I get really emotional when it comes to my parents.
And today I cherish the time I spent with them.
It might not have been on a trip in Brussels or HongKong.
Neither was it spent out of town.
We just treated them out for lunch, a movie and dinner.
For me being together is all that matters!
Susan Sarandon said in the movie "Shall we Dance?"
"We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... All of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness"
My parents have been each other's witness for the past 37 years. I dedicate this song from the movie to them.
The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and
instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings
