“We are in the twilight years of a long love affair, and it has recently occurred to me that a day will come when one of us buries the other.

It is the only acceptable outcome to a long and happy marriage, and I am determined not to fear that day, whenever it arrives. I am equally determined to soak up all the days between.”
