One of the “icing on the cake” moments came just a few days ago when we were out do dinner with my mom, stepdad and some family friends who are getting married this spring. They started asking us when we were going to do it finally and the conversation turned to comfort in our dotage. Being able to take care of each other and speak for each other in case of infirmity is important. My uncle just came out of a horrible coma, and he just married for the 3rd time a few years ago himself. Thank god his wife was able to speak for him when he couldn’t. Things like this didn’t even occur to me in my first marriage.
