The last two paragraphs brought tears to my eyes. As I age (I'm 75) I wonder what it would be like to lose my wife of 53 years. It's unthinkable, actually. I don't worry about it that much, as she is in great health and I'm not, and she'll be fine without me. But as we've gotten older, we've got to be inseparable...
