DEAR ABBY: My parents split up in 1987. They have just started dating again. What is the likelihood of them remarrying? They are in their 70s.
My concern is, what if they break up? I guess I shouldn't worry and just appreciate the time I have with them as a new couple starting out again. Are these normal concerns? -- SWEET, CARING DAUGHTER, SUNNYSIDE, WASH.
DEAR CARING DAUGHTER: Of course your concerns are normal. You love your folks and don't want either of them to be hurt if the romance goes off the tracks (again). Because you can't control what happens next, cross your fingers and hope for a happy outcome. Your parents seem to have a strong connection, and they're old enough to know what they're doing. Que sera, sera.
