Patsy, I’m speechless. I often think about the relationship my parents had and how I only saw pain, a lot of indifference and irritation that continued for years. It was only after my mom died (at 60), that I understood all that she had endured from my father.

I never understood what they saw in each other or why they were together. Had I seen a film like yours, I would’ve been floored. Maybe it would’ve softened me a bit, but who knows.

Keep going — I love your stories!
