Damn, that's beautiful.

My parents didn't travel separately--they just dragged me along with them. I guess if one goes, we all go, or so they thought. They're both gone now, but they left me only four months apart. I guess Mom couldn't wait.

Beautiful story! Whenever my husband and I travel without our kids I always wonder what would happen to them if tragedy struck and we were lost. Great example of the lengths they went to for love.

Oh wow! I LOVE this! So beautiful.

Oh wow! I *LOVE* this! So beautiful.

Mysti Lou -- I'm so sorry for your loss!

Until last year I never knew anyone else had parents who also split up for flights. After last year's tragic plan crash on a flight going from South America to France, there was a lot of press about one family who had split up on that flight. Only then did I hear about so many other parents who also did that.

I'm so glad your parents survived! I lost my m...

I'm so glad your parents survived! I lost my mom in a small plane accident -- my parents had also refused to fly together, and as a completely unromantic child, I had always thought they were being melodramatic control freaks. Not sure it is possible to be more wrong.

Her death has taught me to give all the love you have while you still have it to give, something your family clearly has down pat :)

Thank you for a gloriously romantic story!!!
