A cute story about a couple who was married for 41 years, started a family, experienced a lot over the years, & never moved. Made me feel all types of emotions, but sooo worth reading if you loved The Snowman by Raymond Briggs 💕

Such a beautiful yet sad encounter of Briggs's parents and how they met, fell in love, lived a happy life together and then added away. It's beautiful yet very simple, goes on to show life is all about the small moments and how they make us feel.

A heartwarming memoir of his parents' lives from when they met, became parents, WW2, TV, retirement, until death. It's simple but you feel like you knew them too by the end (which crushed me a bit even though I knew it was coming).
