remember young love?This my son guy and his girlfriend of three months. they are incredibly sweet together, and while it brings with it a whole set of worries for us parents, it is sweet to watch the tenderness with how they care for eachother. we love her and her family.while odds are not in their favor i would not mind if this one lasted a long time.
