We’d provide the cakes, the balloons, the toasts, and they’dfollow one rule: no fighting. The agreement was honored. We had a wonderful day. When wethought back, we found it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began tochange for my parentsWhen the writer told the story, the mother was probably ___ years old.
