This is a story about an elderly couple and the love and companionship they have for each other. The two talk about how they met, and how eventually their lives get complicated with the looming threat of cancer. The story was edited well to become a heartwarming tale, and seeing how they revisited the couple (consequentially after the husband had been deceased) shows just how enduring their love is.

A story about a mother and her son who has Aspergers syndrome (A form of autism). The son asks very deep questions that makes her mother thinks about the answers. In essence the mother shows how there is no normal way of parenting, and that she had to learn and grow as a parent in order to raise her son. The interview brings up a relationship that everyone has, a relationship between parents and their kids. This relationship was one that appealed to me personally as well as other people. It makes you think about other instances in parenting, and how in this case the mother is doing a fine job in raising her child (while other parents might neglect parenting with a normal child, this mother had a child with little to no social skills and had to change herself to raise her kid. It is a dynamic standpoint).
