To be born, to live, to laugh.

To fall in love, to devote yourself, to be born again.

To get married, to have children, to build an entire world around them.

To spend some time together…about 55 years. To build a home. To raise children, to raise grandchildren. To see them smile and live through them.

To grow old, to to get ill, to feel tired. To yearn for attention.

To lose the one you have spent your life with. To wake up one day next to his shadow and see your world falling apart.

To remember, to cherish, to suffer, to cry.

To forgive, to lose hope, to have your heart torn in two. To be alone.

To never see him again.

This was the story of my grandparents…What have I learnt from it?

This: to live by the second, to love by the instant, to give everything for a smile, to make love like it’s for the last time, to kiss until you’re breathless, to be near to the one you love.

That’s all there is, that’s all that matters!
