Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met.

我们渐渐变老，也早已习惯了彼此。我们想法一致、灵魂互通。无需询问我们便知道对方想要什么。偶尔我们也会惹对方不高兴，但那或许是因为我们真正把对方视作了理所当然的伴侣。有时候比如今天，我沉思之后意识到，能够与你这样一个我所见过的最伟大的女人共度余生，我是多么的幸运。
