Ernie revealed. his heart to me for the first time, watching the sun go down in my backyard.
“I know I’m beyond a reasonable life partner candidate at 83, but I’m deeply in love with you. My Darling, I have only leftover pieces of myself to give. It doesn’t seem enough to offer. I can only give you love.”
I said, “Ernie, That’s all I want, and it’s all I need from you.”
We lived a lifetime within the time boundary of seven months, day by wonderful day. He shared the story of his extraordinary life, and he embellished mine.
