[Dottore]

Well I confess to being very happy with my wife. She is 12 years younger than I am, and I was 44 when I married her.

Somehow we are completely in synch. She is my best friend and I am hers. She gives me all the space in the world, and we are frequently in different parts of the world. But coming home to her is always truly coming home—and I wouldn't trade her for anything.

She is attractive, and funny and wise beyond her years. An architect and an artist. To my lawyer and writer. I love her smell. I love her laugh. I love it all.

Before I met her I was very happily single, and didn't want to change that at all. But then we met, and there was no stopping us. I really couldn't be happier.

I apologize for the sappiness of this.
