I picked up my mom and dad from the gym this morning, and it seems that I'm only seeing them again as a couple for the first time. You don't really think of your parents as a couple like your best girl friend and her boyfriend of 5 years. Neither do you imagine your parents going through the motions of being a couple, like going to the gym together for instance, or eating romantic dinners and spending a whole day just being comfortable with each other like other couples. We think that parents are just parents.
We forget that they are people too and that being our parents are not the only roles they play in life.
