In my nearly 35 years of existence, I’d never seen my parents do that. I took a picture with my digital camera. That photo of my parents’ hands said everything. After so many years of discord （不和）, it was apparent to me that they finally understood how much each loved the other.
    At Christmas, I gave them two framed photos. One photo is of their clasped （紧握的） hands on their wedding day, August 7, 1965. On the matting（框边） it says, “For better or worse, for richer or poorer.” The second photo is of that day in the recovery room, and on the matting it says, “In sickness and in health, till death do we part.”
