of responsibility for your parents' care and happiness, and that is very important.
And you feel a little disappointed that you couldn't follow through as you wished.

I'm sure Mom and Dad did just fine.
Congratulations to them on 69 years of marriage.
They must be in their late eighties or early nineties.
Wow!
