"she asked me if i had any wishes for my birthday; she wanted to know if there was anything big i could get that would make it special. i told her i merely wished for her to come to where i was and watch the sunset with me. she asked if that was all, as if my request was insignificant, but to me, concluding the day knowing i am in the presence of love is as good a reason as any to feel blessed i lived to see my 32th."
