When siblings disagree on how to celebrate aging parents

My sister and I are planning our parents' 50th anniversary party and we have completely different visions — she wants a big celebration with everyone they've ever known, and I think they'd prefer something small and intimate. We're both trying to honor them but we keep talking past each other and I can feel us getting frustrated.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who both love their parents are discovering that love can express itself in fundamentally different ways, and both expressions feel equally true.
