yes, this song is definitely about the relationship between his parent's through one of their eyes (his mother's it seems). it is so real and so beautiful. i cried the first time i heard it. the reference to his father getting seriously sick is the same as the one from the format's "on your porch." the little section after the 30 years line is so sweet. he sings it like he knows what it's like for them. maybe this is a tribute to the love he has been surrounded by all his life.
